Project Porsche 987.2 Cayman S: Getting the Suspension Together! Part 1

Our Clubsports with the HLS hydraulic ram in place.

Howard bolts the upright with the Tarett links in place to the crossmember.

All the Tarett links are in place.  We set the trailing arms front pivot to be as low as possible to reduce anti-squat to a low as possible. The 987 Cup Car is known to have a handling fault where they bounce around on corner exit. We noticed that in stock condition that the suspension geometry has a ton of anti-squat.  We think that this is causing the rear suspension to bind up under torque load and hence the bouncing under acceleration.  Setting the rear ride height low helps the anti-squat situation as does dropping the front pivot point as low as possible.  We are eager to see if this help cure the hopping problem.

Now Howard bolts the Tarett end links up to the knuckle.

The Tarett rear sway bar is bolted in place and its onto the front suspension.

The front suspension is almost identical to the rear with the exception that the tension rod is shorter and angled more inward that the rear trailing link!  Howard removed the front suspension in the same manner as the rear.
