Hi all

Fairly new to owning my Cayman 987 2.7 which I love, but finding the suspension a little unforgiving and bouncy on British roads. Just wanted to see if this is a consensus, or should I get it looked at. On smooth roads she's amazing, just starting to get fed up of bouncing around.

FYI I am running on 18"s

Cheers for any feedback.

Thanks, "bouncy" is probably the wrong word. Jarring is probably more descriptive. On smooth roads, she's a dream. I've got brigdstones on, so thinking it's not the tyres.

Maybe I just need to get used to it.

Funny you should ask, recently (3-4 weeks) I changed all 4 due to getting a puncture. Don't seem to have much of a difference though. My tyre sizes are 235/40/18 & 265/40/18

I'm due a service on June, so going to bring it up then. Will be taking it to Percision Porsche who seem to know what they are talking about

Thanks for the feedback guys. Will look into the 17's and get the alignment sorted out.

Btw, the car is 08 with 62K on the clock

Hi all

To get to the bottom of this. Just had a service at Precision Porsche who suggested that the Bridgestone tires would be harder than Michelin. Shame I've just bought, and had fitted 4 news ones frown

TBH, I think its something I've not been used too. So its just "different", I'm coming around to it, especially over the last few days where I've been driving around Europe on nicer roads. Love the car, so just have to keep an eye out for those better roads :P
