Yeah I know that is what I keep thinking but my dealer has a good tech that use to work at Vortex and has done amrs and links a lot before....Dealer price is probably way to high so that will solve that problem anyway! LOL

this is rotatable upper strut mount.

but you better find stock GT3 mount, suncoast used to have them. this one above is a racing part, it got no seal on monoball. stock part has same type steel monoball but it is well protected from elements and will last forever.
what you gain with those mounts is total elimination of dynamic camber changes on top as stock 997 upper mounts have rubber seal there and strut moves a bit in it. with those mounts it stays solid.

Thanks Paul, I'm doing solid bushings in my LCA's and Rear Toe Links and I'm going to stop there. I don't want to solid mount everything as this is still a street car driven weekly.

Well, I was wrong about the info given to me that the GT3 Cup and RSR LCA's are longer than the GT3 LCA. While at Auto Quest with Gavin I brought this up and we measured a set of GT3 and GT3 Cup LCA's....they are the same length.

Sorry for passing along bad info but I wanted to report the truth and what I found.
