Lower control arms...

Bistein B8/GMG Springs...is what is on my car. I'd like to refresh bushings/ball joints on the car.

Should I get upgraded bushings (like Elephant Racing) that allows for camber/caster adjustment, or do I need to get the RSS arms?

I dont ever plan on tracking the car...just daily driving.

IMO there is no point in getting fully adjustable arms if you're not tracking the car, aside from the LCA, which is worth switching to GT3 arms for a little more camber.

This is a good time for me to ask what’s the setup you guys think works best on a lowered car to correct the geometry. I won’t track it. Have the GT3 for that. My last 997 chewed through in the inner portion of the rear tires pretty quickly being lowered without correction.

Vital Signs is infamous around these parts
I'm interested in the answer to what mods to do when lowering to correct geometry. Drop links? LCA?
