The Bilstein B16 coilover kit for the Porsche Cayman, Boxster (987), Bilstein part number 49-255980, for the full kit of the car.
B16 adjusts both ride height and damping, so the car can be set up for road, track, or somewhere in between.
This is a Damptronic damper, so the electronic damping control on the car carries on working. It plugs into the original wiring and the setting you choose from the driver’s seat still does what it did before, with Bilstein damping underneath it instead of the original.
Pick B16 when the car sees track time and you want to be able to tune it.

About Bilstein
Bilstein have been building dampers in Germany since 1873 and put the first gas-pressure shock absorber into production in 1954. The monotube design that came out of that work is still what separates a Bilstein from a cheap replacement, because the gas and the oil stay separated and the damping does not fade as the damper heats up.
