Öhlins Road & Track Coilovers – Porsche Boxster 986/987 & Cayman 987
Part Number: POS MY10S1 | Fitment: Porsche Boxster 986 (1996–2004), Boxster 987 (2004–2012), Cayman 987 (2005–2013)
Over 40 years of motorsport engineering distilled into a street-ready coilover kit. The Öhlins Road & Track series delivers a genuine racing experience without sacrificing daily drivability — thanks to Öhlins' proprietary Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology. Uniquely, this kit features upside-down McPherson struts at both front and rear — reducing unsprung mass and sharpening response on the mid-engine Porsche platform. Springs included. Corrosion-tested to ISO 9227 and backed by a 2-year limited warranty.
⚠️ Note: For vehicles equipped OE with EDC (Electronic Damper Control), an Öhlins cancellation kit is also required (sold separately). See cancellation kit table below.

What is DFV (Dual Flow Valve)?
DFV is Öhlins' proprietary damping technology that sets the Road & Track range apart from conventional coilovers. The dual flow valve provides consistent damping characteristics on both compression and rebound strokes — the damper fluid follows a consistent flow path in both directions. This means the wheel and tyre can rapidly return to the road surface after a bump, maximising grip and traction at all times.
Because DFV opens more quickly on minor road imperfections, ride comfort is surprisingly supple — more akin to an OEM strut than a typical coilover. Over undulating surfaces, the compliance of the R&T units allows the car to crest bumps and potholes while remaining stable and in control. Traction is always maintained at its optimum level.
