The AST Suspension 5200 Series Coilovers for the 2007-2012 Porsche Cayman 2.7 (987) are high-performance, adjustable shock absorbers designed for enthusiasts seeking precise handling and customization. These 2-way adjustable coilovers allow independent tuning of compression and rebound damping, enabling optimal setup for street, track, or autocross applications. Built upon competition-grade technology, the shocks feature a quick and easy adjustment mechanism, with the compression adjuster inspired by AST’s successful design used in the American Grand-Am series. Constructed with durable materials, these coilovers deliver improved stability, reduced body roll, and enhanced cornering capabilities, making them ideal for drivers demanding both performance and reliability.

Designed to fit 2007-2012 Porsche Cayman 2.7 models, these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade that replaces the factory suspension components. They are suitable for vehicles equipped with the M97 engine and are intended for performance-oriented driving, including street and track use. The kit includes the necessary shock absorbers and mounting hardware, ensuring a straightforward installation process. These coilovers are compatible with the stock chassis and suspension geometry, providing adjustable ride height and damping settings to tailor the driving experience to individual preferences. They serve as an excellent upgrade for drivers seeking enhanced handling and suspension tuning flexibility.

Overview

The 5200 Series for the 2007-2012 Porsche Cayman 2.7 (987) are 2-way adjustable shock absorbers which are based upon competition 3-way adjustable shock absorbers. The 5200 shock absorbers are adjustable in compression and rebound.

The design of the compression adjuster is an evolution of the compression adjuster we provided for the American Grand-Am series for the last few years. The 5200 shock absorbers were designed to achieve a quick and easy set up, allowing separate adjustment of compression and rebound.

The 5200 Series AST uses an external canister. Throughout testing and competitions, the 5200 has been praised for its performance and capabilities, surpassing other major, more expensive brands and setting a new standard of 2 way damper. Its no surprise that the 5200 is fast becoming a favorite damper amongst race teams and track day enthusiasts world wide.
