Ohlins 16-25 Porsche 718 Spyder, Cayman GT4 (981/982), Front (Insert Only) Replacement Damper

What you get with this Ohlins POS 5R90 is a front damper insert designed specifically for the Porsche 718 Spyder and Cayman GT4 models, covering both the 981 and 982 chassis generations. This isn't a complete strut assembly, but rather the core damper unit that fits inside your existing strut housing. It's built to replace the original factory damper, offering a significant step up in performance and adjustability for drivers who push their cars hard.

Ohlins is well-known for their advanced suspension technology, and these dampers are a prime example. They feature a monotube design, which helps dissipate heat more effectively than twin-tube designs, leading to more consistent damping performance even under demanding conditions like track use or spirited canyon carving. The internal valving is carefully tuned to provide a more controlled ride, reducing body roll during cornering and improving tire contact with the road. This means you'll feel more connected to the car and have greater confidence when driving at the limit. The damping force is adjustable, allowing you to fine-tune the suspension to your specific driving style and track conditions.

When installing these damper inserts, you'll be working with a component that's built to precise tolerances to ensure it fits right into your factory strut housings. It's a job that requires careful attention to detail, as you'll be reusing your existing strut components. This is a serious upgrade for owners looking to extract the most from their high-performance Porsche. Make sure to consult your vehicle's service manual for the proper procedures when replacing the damper inserts.
