Track parts
I am reading that the GT3 control arms are needed to obtain proper track alignment. How does everyone upgrade and what all is needed e.g. control arms, sway bars etc?
Any build threads that have the parts list?
Also, Where is a good place to purchase as well.
TIA
David

I started with GT3 Lower control arms, yellow pagid pads and better tires to start. Then added H&R front and rear sway bars. Currently at -2.5 camber on front and -1.0 on rear. I found that Stable Energies in NJ is a good place to purchase those items ( just a satisfied customer)

Did mine at Apex in Clifton,NJ. RSS control arms, sway bars, new track alignment. -2.5/-1.5 (or -1.0).
Ferodo DS1-11 Brake pads, giro disc rotors and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.
Made a world of difference on the track and kept the car this side of street legal as well so I can trailer as well as drive to the track depending on which track I'm going to.
They ordered the parts and did the work as I didn't trust myself to do it.
Give John a call:

Adjustable LCAs are a must for a track Cayman, the car can't get enough camber otherwise. You may find that the rear end becomes a bit squirrely, and you may want to add some toe links in the back. I would recommend calling John at BGB in Florida. He can source the right parts for you and give you great advice on setup.

These parts come up occasionally second hand in the classifieds. That's where I got mine for my 2009 CS. Here are some for sale right now:
