Question 2016 Cayman GTS?

Hi,I just purchased a Cayman GTS. It shows PASM with chassis lowered by 10mm. The owner's manual shows a button on the console to activate it. The button in the manual is marked with a damper. It doesn't exist on this car. Is this normal?

Congrats on the car - you’ll love it.

To to answer your question some Of the 981 cars ( Caymans and. Boxsters ) came equipped with X73 suspension ( fixed dampers ).

Dontou have the original window sticker - if you do see if it lists X73.

IF you don’t have the original window sticker list the VIN here and someone can look up your original build sheet.

Y

Your car came equipped with Sport Suspension aka X73 so you wouldn’t have the button with the picture of the shock absorber as you have fixed suspension. The Sport Suspensiom gives you a lower ride height and improves handling compared to cars equipped with PASM.

You have a very nice build geared towards handling - sport suspension and torque vectoring. Enjoy in good health.
