Default HELP - Rear Adj Lower Control Arms on Cayman

I'm putting rear adjustable lower control arms on my 987.2 and need to know how to attach the inboard side. The bolt hole is elongated which is why the stock arms come with the eccentric bolt. The idea is to set the camber with the shims. Do I need to use the eccentric bolt to put the adjustable arms on or do I use a regular bolt similar to how the front are attached? Pics to follow if needed.

Either use the eccentrics or replace with locking plates: https://www.tarett.com/items/996-997...utmk=258960458

Appreciate the quick response! Makes sense to get the lock plates right? That's the whole point of putting the adjustable arms I thought...

Just realized those are for the toe arms. You are talking about the control arms. Definitely need to reuse the eccentrics for those.

Just set the eccentrics and use the shims for your camber adjustments.

Ira at Tarett also makes lockout hardware for the lower control arms. We always run them. Not a good idea to have sudden camber (or toe) changes in the rear of the car. Cheap insurance and one less variable.
