how much will front camber change if I lower the front 1/2"
I know it will add neg camber approx how much.
Do i just lower the lower the spring perches. I see theres also a ring on the bottom of the strut where it connects to the spindle. What does that do? I have a toe and camber gauge. thanks

Depending on how much bump-steer GT3's have, you may get an unfavorable toe change as well..
I would think GT3's are pretty sensitive to toe's and cambers...

Lowering a half inch will not add a lot of negative camber - may 0.2 degrees. I have been told that GT2 and GT3 are very sensitive to ride height although I can't see how lowering it in the front could make things nasty. The GT2 is nearly 1/2 inch lower in front that the GT3 from the get-go.

It appears that US bound GT3's (and, *maybe* even 2004 GT2's) are 10 mm higher in front. If you really want to lower yours, just go by the factory specs and have the car re-aligned and corner balanced accordingly. Height specs are:
Front: 115 + 5 mm (115 to 120 mm)
Rear: 128 + 5 mm (128 to 133 mm)
Front: 115 + 5 mm (115 to 120 mm)
Rear: 128 + 5 mm (128 to 133 mm)

Viken, as always I defer to you on specs ):-)
Canadian GT3's may be different. When I had mine aligned and corner balanced my front ride height was 118 mm and the rear was 128.

Where are you measuring ride height from?
