Just wanted to share this Cayman we recently did with JIC Cross Coilovers. The customers car is one we frequently work on. I have personally used JIC on all my cars in the past and even have a set on my 996. The coilovers are just as sweet for the Cayman offering 16 way adjustable dampening, front camber plates, rear pillowball mounts, adjustable ride height, monotube shocks, an inverted from damper. They basically are the best coilover you will ever ride in hands down. I have personally used Bilstein and JIC and know that for the extra $$$, the features are well worth it.
The install on the Cayman is kind of a PITA because of getting to the rear strut tops. Labor is estimated at 5 hours for the job. The fronts go on really easy with no issues. Generally, we like to set the ride height at a drop of close to 1.25" front and rear. Vivid Racing does not do alignments, but we get the specs as close as possible for the customer to head to the alignment shop. The best alignment would be a full corner balance setup.
Here are some pics! Enjoy

The car is now at Redline Motorsports for the alignment and corner balance. Robert at Redline will post some pics and the specs, see if I can get him to post them here or I will try to link them. Cool guy, well respected and a garage full of cup cars to let you know you are in the right place.
So far I think they are awesome although I have not driven it much and it definitly needs the setup after the install.
Couple of things off the bat, really nice looking pieces and seemed to be very heavy duty and very nicely finished. The ride (dampening) is better than stock even on the stiffer settings and the car corners very flat. You can feel your hips loading up on the seat bolsters much more then with the stockers. My favorite part is that they are super easy to adjust and you can do all four corners in 2 minutes.
I will give some more feedback once the setup is completed and I have some seat time, I will also being doing some track days as the weather is now getting better for us here in the desert so I will follow up after that as well.
Thanks to Dan and Vividracing, this is probably not something I would have spent money on but now think its probably the only thing I should have spent money on.

i have had mine on since the spring. a little lower than yours i think, but both look better than the ralley hieght stock setup, imo.
