Yes, GT-3 LCA's can be installed with the stock suspension and they will work quite well.

They will allow adjustment to the required camber to get the most grip out of the front tires. I think that I ran about -2.2 deg neg camber in front and -1.5 in the rear.

As you become a better and faster driver on the track, you will find that even -2 deg of camber is not enough to maintain a flat contact patch and the outer portion of the tires will be worn to the cord with the center and inner portion of the tires still having quite a bit of tread. When you get to this point, the next step is to lower the car (coilovers) which will allow more than -3 deg of camber (I currently run -3.5 on my Spec Boxster).
