GT3 LCA Range of Caster
What is the range of adaptability do the 996 GT3 LCA give to caster? How many degrees up and down can it be adjusted?
For cost effectiveness, to get caster adjustments on a C2S, my options are:
1. Tarrets Adjustable Thrust Arm
2. Adjustable Thrust Arm Bushings + Install to LCA of choice.
3. 996/997 GT3 LCA
4. AfterMarket Full Adjustable LCA
I only listed the install for the bushings because I do not have a press to be able to remove and reinstall the bushings so I would take it to a shop. However, I can do the actual install of the LCA or Thrust Arm.
I am leaning to get the Tarrets adjustable thrust arms and if I need to replace the control arms at a later point, I can.
Any thoughts the pro/con of just doing the Tarret vs Bushing vs LCA?

You can get more caster than you need...wheel will rub stock inner liner. I've found that right around 8.5 degrees of caster doesn't rub and is more than stock. Also stock 996 GT3 LCA doesn't come with adjustable pucks so you will have to go aftermarket. I have RSS caster bushings in my GT3 LCA. Works fine....
