Default Custom 993 Rear Arms

Hello,
I was trying to go through the search, didn't find too much but has anyone DIY'd any rear camber arms for a 993 using products at https://www.speedwaymotors.com/?
(I recently made a set for my W124 wagon project I'm working on, and all it cost me was a little over 100 in parts.)

Sure it's possible but why reinvent the wheel when it's all available at a reasonable cost
Tarrett has all 4 available(toe, camber , KT and A) and Rennline has 3 of them(toe, camber & KT)

It’s obvious now, but didn’t know this resource existed. Also, how did you go about determining lengths; good ol’ruler?

Only spent a few minutes on the steering & suspension section. Do you know everything is available to make the proper connections at the proper lengths? Any issue with SAE to metric measurements? Are the items as durable/corrosion resistant as what is being sold by the known 993 suspension gurus?

Anything can be DIY. How much time, effort, and knowledge gathering do you want to invest versus paying for it? In this case, all it takes is one person to specify the parts needed, and we’re all off to the races.

Is it really as easy as measuring and specifying the proper connection end? For these prices, and some confirmation that magical skill isn’t necessary, this might be worth the time.

Hi Jay,
My question is if one is going to set their suspension:
--At reasonable height for road us, say somewhere between USA height and ROW lowered height;
--Where the cast arms can be used with the stock uprights to bring the car into the Porsche specified alignment values
Why use adjustable arms that can go out of adjustment and lack the noise and vibration isolation of the cast fixed arms with bushings?
It seems for applications other than a race track weapon such arms are not ideal for use on our cars.

Worth it for all the right parts that fit, It's the little things that take a lot of time to source, like the eccentric locks and booties that are also desirable
