That's interesting. What's the "stock" setting? Some 993's can barely get -1.5 deg camber, while others can somehow get -2.4 (me, for example) in a stock setup.

Colin, if I read your reply correctly, by just having the adjustable links on the car is not the issue but rather it's the settings of the links that determine whether they are legal, is that correct?

That would be my read of it, but my vote does not count.

What you do is dial in as much negative camber as you can get/want but you must set the camber plates to "0" and "pin" them. Basically, there is no advantage to running adjustable camber plates in PCA unless you got them as part of the monoball set up i.e. JIC Cross system.

I would think the adjustable rears should be legal as long as there is no advantange over the stock pieces. If you can set them and "pin" them to a stock length, where's the beef? At that point, there is no difference between those and the adjustable camber plates up front.

Just my 2 cents which means I am probably wrong.

Basically the PCA is trying to enforce a rule that prevents you from adding suspension components that allow adjustments that are different from stock. This means that you can install monoballs or camber plates that behave like monoballs. This can be done with a custom locking plate on the camber plate.
