Great info. Thank you.

So no need for the hyper expencive gt3 LCAs then. Should I get two pair of monoballs for front and rear?

Are the rear links too long or too short for proper alignment?

Camber plates have a limit to how much add'l camber they provide. Please don't drill holes in the shock tower to add more adjustablilty. The next owner of your car will thank you for not tearing it up.

So, it really depends on how much add'l camber you need - which depends on how good of a driver you are, which tires you use, and how the car is set up.

If you're new to track driving, then camber plates will probably be fine. But if you have performance driving experience or want to run R-comp tires, then you will likely max out the camber plates fairly quickly and will need the 996 GT-3 adjustable lower control arms (or aftermarket equivalent).

The stock rear toe arms are too short to allow for proper rear toe alignment when the car is lowered.
