Type 4 kits are height-adjustable coilovers built to order for your specific chassis, not pulled from a shelf. F2 builds the whole Type 4 range this way across a wide list of applications. If you are lowering or fine-tuning the stance of a 981 car, that chassis-specific build is the point of this kit.
Lead times apply because each kit is made to order. Look over the chassis listing, select your vehicle on this page to confirm fit, or call 813-535-5801 for help choosing the right F2 tier.

It is listed for: 2012-2016 Porsche Boxster; 2012-2016 Porsche Cayman; 2012-2016 Porsche Boxster and more (see the full list above). Pick your vehicle on this page to check your exact year and trim.
Ride height is set on the threaded body or the lower mount, and the damping (how firm the shock feels) with the adjuster when the kit has one. Some kits also let you set spring preload and camber at the top mount. The Part details above list what this exact kit adjusts.
Yes. Changing ride height changes camber and toe, so have the car aligned once the height is set and the suspension has settled after a short drive.
Set all four corners before the alignment, keep the drop inside the maker's range, and re-check the height after the first drive because the springs settle. Going lower than the maker recommends costs ride quality and tire life.
The car settles a little over the first few drives. After that, re-check the ride height, the lock rings on the collars and the top-mount hardware, then get the alignment done.
Yes. Most coilovers are built for daily use when set to the maker's recommended height and a softer damping setting. Track-focused series ride firmer.

It's for lowering or fine-tuning the stance of a 981 Boxster or Cayman, using height-adjustable coilovers made for the chassis.
Yes, this listing covers the Boxster and Cayman 981, including GTS models and the Boxster Spyder.
Each Type 4 kit is made to order for your specific chassis rather than pulled from a shelf, so lead times apply.
Install and care: coilovers
Before you start
- Read the maker's guide and note the recommended ride-height range for your car.
- Book an alignment for after the install; the car needs one.
Do
- Set all four corners to the same drop before the alignment and re-check the height after the first drive.
- Keep the threads clean and lightly lubricated so the collars still turn next season.
Don't
- Don't go lower than the maker's range; it costs ride quality and tire life.
- Don't skip the alignment.
