Default Lowered C2 do I need adjustable camber arms?

Just lowered my C2 no PASM with the TechArt springs. Was wondering if it would be worth it to install the adjustable camber arms (F/R) or would the amount of lowering from the TechArt springs be able to get back to stock settings. Tried the search but could not find any info on this.

My 991.1 rear camber before install H&R lowering spring was - 1.50, after installed rear camber was -2.30

I agreed with 008. No adjustable camber arm needed.

My rear camber is now -1.20 but I think it does not look agressive. Does anyone have stock alignment specification to share?

Info from the other thread said GT3 rear camber is -1.40

Please post pics! Also, can you post your thoughts on the springs? I had techart springs on my 997.2 with OEM shocks. It is hard to describe, but the car seemed to ride better or "softer" over bumps; however, I heard a knock over certain bumps at low speed. Turned out to be the shocks. I replaced the shocks with new Bilstein B6 shocks which made the car handle amazingly well, but the ride, in my opinion, was stiffer and not as soft over bumps. Not awful, but a little bit stiffer to the point it was noticeable.

Techart springs are the perfect drop! Looks somewhat factory, similar to GT3 drop.

I have techart springs in my C4S and my shop who is quite meticulous did an alignment 24 hours later and stated no issues. I also have no issues with harsh ride and the PASM shocks have been fine so far.

Even though the drop is less aggressive than H&R I have very lightly scraped in certain driveways--particularly gas stations with crappy entries, so I advise always using an angle on driveways.

Your car looks great. Saw it in another post. Thanks for the response. Still curious to hear what OP says since he, like me, does not have PASM.

for the amount of adjustment you get and the tire wear, it hardly justifies the cost of buying a bunch of adjustable suspension parts
