you DO NOT need adjustable upper control arms/dog bones, or toe-links to get a good alignment at street-able heights. Stock eccentrics have plenty of adjustment.

Adjustable dog bones are the biggest waste of money and totally unnecessary. As Rob said, stock eccentrics give you plenty of adjustment. Even a 996 Cup runs the same dog bones as a stock 996TT. There are lots of good but also lots of bad recommendations out there. Choose wisely...

+1 John, and IMO, before anyone adds power, the NA 996TT chassis is very much in need of suspension work to make right...suspect most people would be very happy with the car with a few basic mods...
Cheers,
Rob
