i am in the same boat too, was thinking about GT3 LCA or RSS adjustable arms.
i found RSS comes in a package with all the shims and fully adjusted, with price lowered than gt3 ones,
any pros and cons between the two? which one is easier to install?
btw i am looking at -3 camber at the front,
thx

You get shims with RSS arms and they include a monoball inner pivot, adjustable solid caster puck and replacable outer ball joint (non of which come with factory arms) You still need to install them correctly and perform a wheel alignment regardless of which product (Porsche or RSS).

Hello. I am new to the forum.
Although I have searched a lot, I haven't found the answer to my questions.
I have a Cayman S 987.1 and want to add camber using adjustable lower control arms (the maximum I have on stock set up is 0.8 front).
My mechanic told me that if I am going to use GT3 LCA, I will also have to replace the other arm, the one that bolts onto this, let's say the one that controls castor.
I couldn't understand the reason, until he showed me the difference between stock control arm and the adjustable one. There is quite a difference in their height.
So, my question is, what do you guys do? Do you replace also the other arm?
Which is the height of RSS / Elephant racing / Tarett / SPC arm? Is it the same as the stock arm or is it the same as the adjustable one which means I will also have to replace the castor arm?
Thanks

When you add shims to the LCA to increase camber, the fixed length diagonal link attached to the LCA is too short and adds caster. This is not necessarily a bad thing as it adds camber when turning. I ran for years with this condition. The "correct" way is either use adjustable diagonal arms or use an adjustable bushing on the LCA where the diagonal attaches. The other option is to use camber plates for more camber rather then shimming an adjustable LCA. Camber plates usually only add about -1 degree camber. Because of a tire rub issue, I use both camber plates and the adjustable LCA which came stock on my GT4.
