Default increasing front wheel camber

May not be the right forum but it is one that great reading. So the question, which is the preferred way to increase front camber on a 997. C2S

1) GT3 lower control arms
or
2) camber plates i.e. adjustable upper strut mounts

Ahhh...you know the answer. You still contemplating this?

Get the GT3 adjustable (shims) lower control arms and be done with it. Also put on some Tarett mono-***** and solid thrush bushing on these LCA's and you can adjust for max castor too.

Plus with the LCA's you will gain some much need front track width. Notice how the 991 has more front track width?...there is a reason Porsche did this.

Rotate stock strut tops, if possible. Skip the camber plates.

Can't do that on a Carrera based car.
