Mike,
The GT3 set up does not come with rear camber plate. The mount/rubber mount (996 333 059 03) is exactly the same as C2/4 or 4S, so do not waste your $$. For the front, it has more parts go with the camber plate...
Also for the swaybar, you do not need new clamps and bolts, they are same as what you have on your car.

FYI

not sure who quoted you those prices but Suncoast quoted me $150 each for the front camber plates just a few weeks ago. If you didn't already check with them for the rest it might save you a few bucks.

I see. Thanks! You are refering though to the rear sway bar or both? I thought the GT3 anti-sway bars are bigger in diameter than the carreras??

I just did the automated price check @ PelicanParts.com with those part nos to get an idea of what will my total expense will be to do this upgrade.

Thanks for the tip.

Both swaybars. The swaybars are bigger in diameters. The outside diameters for the bushings are same as C2, just the ID are bigger for bigger swaybars.

Thanks MTB! I learned something new Saves me some $$ too.
I'm still debating if I'm going to do the switch.

Carrera Mike,

Just to be clear.... MTB is saying that you only need the corresponding swaybar bushings to go with the bigger GT3 swaybars... The bushings are thinner to allow a thicker bar to sit inside the same bar mount/clamp that you already have today. Hope that helps.

Thanks Paul! I do understand what he meant. I appreciate all of you gents help in clarifying all the bits and pieces that I just really need.
