The two at that top of the picture are Cup/GT2/GT3 lower control arms. They are two piece rather then one piece. They can be shimmed to push out the lower control arm for more negative camber.

Hope this helps...

Luis - are you talking about the rear upper dog bones (control arms) to adjust camber and toe? The ones for the 996TT also fit the 997TT.

I have the upper,and I want to use the lower ADJ RS arms to use shims for the camber anl leave the upper ones the same size as OEM to get a better geometry.

Hi Luis,

Not sure if I am answering your question here, but that looks like *front* lower control arm? The only active poster I know of who has installed this to increase front camber is a rennteam's poster by the name of GT. His installation picture & experience is posted here: http://www.rennteam.com/forum/thread...13.html#484643

He changes nearly every other link in his Turbo's (rear upper control arm, rear toe control arms, etc.) and has very aggressive front and rear camber alignment. I think he'd be able to answer any question you might have. Hope this helps.

I would suggest the GMG bones, toes, etc. You can use cup front adj trailing arms on the rear as well. Be sure you have a good shop set it up for you.

Hi Luis,

Sorry, I think you have to sign in to rennteam to see the picture. Anyway, following is what "GT" posted, looks like he changed both front and rear lower control arms? He's still posting there, so I think if you ask he'll be able to answer.

The other person that I think would be able to help you is Ira of Tarett Engineering, email: iraramin@tarett.com It seems he sells the arms on his web site http://www.tarett.com/items/996-997-products/list1.htm , and he's answered my question by email promptly and in great details.

Maybe just add adjustable thrust bushings to your arms.

Tarret confirmed the adjustable control arms (GT3) can be used front and rear in Turbo 997 so I ordered rear only at the moment,with this I will have several ways to adjust my suspension.
Thanks for the suggestion.
