Correct. The 996 GT-3 adjustable lower control arms are the only legal part allowed in the rules to increase negative camber. Also this is how the factory Cup cars adjust camber so every Porsche race shop already knows how to set them up.

Of course, there are pro's and con's to everything;

Slotting the shock tower to get more negative camber is fairly easy but has limited adjustment range and could hurt re-sale value because the car has been permanently modified and a lot of potential buyers won't want to take the risk that it wasn't done properly.

Camber plates are affordable but have limited adjustment range.

Adj lower control arms and shims are expensive but they provide a wide range of adjustment and shops already know how to set them up. Some of the investment might be re-gained on re-sale to the right buyer but that cost can be a mouthful to swallow.

Pick your poison.
