Popular Post samwell Posted April 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hello all, Thought I'd sign up and introduce myself to the forum having picked up my 2010 Cayman S a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely love this thing, the handling, the power, the noise just makes me want to drive it everywhere! I cover around 35,000 miles a year for my work but fortunately have a daily driver for those duties, so I have bought the Cayman for some weekend fun! The main spec is as follows: 2010 Cayman S Guards Red PCM PSE Carrera Classic wheels in black Sports seats It also has some other bits like red seat belts, rear park assist, Porsche crest on head restraints etc. It's also been fitted with KW variant 3 coilovers which I'm not convinced with as of yet...I have the original suspension components so am considering changing it back to standard.

s3 akr Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Looks good. The KW's give it a nice stance - looks a lot like an R for ride height. You'll enjoy them when you get on a good road and get into a rhythm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob63 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Very nice, I like the lowered look as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty1 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Great looking Cayman, lowered ride height looks better imo. Interested to hear about your thoughts on the KWv3 suspension as I am looking to upgrade suspension on mine from standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwell Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Thanks guys, I have to admit Guards Red wasn't my first colour choice but in the flesh with the black wheels and badge it does look stunning. Also, the mileage is fairly low and the condition is fantastic for the year, plus it had the PSE so I couldn't let it pass! I also like the lowered look over the standard suspension although it does scrape over some speed bumps and I can't reverse it on my drive due to the road outside my house not being surfaced yet ? Handling-wise it feels fantastic but I have only driven a standard Cayman S on a 2-minute test drive so can't really compare. I'll likely need to play with the adjustability settings on the coilovers too to get it spot on. I'll be getting some track days booked in soon which will give me a good chance to try different settings. It's been a great couple of sunny weeks with it so far! ?

extanker Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 cars that are driven every day usually wind up with KW's back in their box taking up space waiting to be re-sold......imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get the occasional scrape on speed bumps so I just take them carefully. I haven’t played around with the settings yet but plan to do that during the trackdays I’ll get in. I haven’t had any tyre wear issues, have just had a full set of Michelin PS4S fitted and the wear on the previous Bridgestones was even. Hopefully mine don’t end up back in the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Beanoir™ Posted April 19, 2018 Founder Share Posted April 19, 2018 I’d definitely keep those KW on, will look like a Land Rover with the standard gear back on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
