My concern is that you probably need a lot more camber than a device like this is likely to provide.

If you're looking for a cheaper solution than adjustable LCA's, I'd recommend camber plates which will allow about -1.75 to -2.0 degrees (total) on the stock suspension. At $475 plus installation they are the best affordable route to more negative camber.

But the camber plates alone won't get you to an optimal -2.5 to -2.75 degrees of camber but its a good start (this is based on handling quality alone; this much camber for a car that never see a track might not be optimal for other factors like tire wear). Its all a trade off.

I've just spoken to Powerflex and they checked the measurements for me and said they were pretty sure that it would fit a 986.

He said the bushes would provide minimum of an extra degree of camber adjustability. Wouldn't that allow at least -2 overall? You can get at least -1 with the standard suspension arms, no?

I agree -2.5 would be an ideal compromise. But if I could get it to -2 total with these bushes, I settle for that given the significant cost savings even compared with camber plates.

Why can you only achieve -1.75 to -2 with plates? My experience with plates on other cars is that they typically allow for pretty extreme levels of negative camber...
