996 Rear Camber Correction

Can anyone suggest a good rear camber correction kit for a 996? I can only adjust to -2.5" before the camber bolt maxes out. The car is lowered on Bilstein shocks and I have 285's in the rear. TIA!

get adjustable upper control arms - agency, RSS, etc.

Just be careful - if your too low (tire tucked in fender) you may have to roll fender to allow the camber to be correct otherwise it'll make contact.

I am sure users will chime in on which they think is best.

Good luck!

Thanks for the quick reply. If I go with the Agency adjustable upper control arms (Part#AP-996-200) would I also need the Agency adjustable rear toe link (Part# AP-997-240) or would I be able to adjust toe back to spec with just the upper control arms? Also, has anyone had any experience with Innovative Speed Solutions? Their kit seems much cheaper than the Agency kit. Ebay link below.

What are you trying to adjust it to? I've lowered mine 1.3-4 inches and with factory plumbing I've got mine set to -1.5 in the rear with almost 0 toe.

I'm trying to adjust it to -1.5. I bought the car already lowered so I have no idea how much lower it is from stock. However, I don't think it's that lowered as there's still a small wheel gap from the fender. When I had it up on the rack, -2.5" was the furthest I could go before I maxed out the camber bolt...

Mine's lowered on H&R with Bilstein sports...lowered 1.3-4 than it was stock...shop dialed in -1.5 with almost 0 toe and he said I still could have gone to -1.0
I'm not sure what you're lowered on but if it's springs not coilovers, I can't imagine it being that low...

what is both of your top fender height from the ground?

Mine sits 24 5/8" and I couldn't get more than -2.2 on stock stuff - had to get adjusters.

I don't have coilovers. I'm not sure what kind of springs it's on but I was told that the previous owner had the Bilstein shocks custom valved. I've attached a picture below to show how the car currently sits... I apologize in advance for the crappy blackberry picture. lol
