If you scroll to group 4 it shows all suspension components. Can someone tell me which parts exactly I need for the GT3 adjustable control arms? I think the rears are pretty self evident but I'm failing to see how the fronts adjust since they have no eccentric bolt or shims like the rears do. Part #'s would be excellent, but even an explanation of how the fronts work would be helpful.

The GT3 arms have shims. That's how you adjust them. I'm sure of it.

After speaking with Fabryce at GMG I get the impression that the Cup control arms are the way to go. However, they are quite expensive so I'm going to see what kind of alignment numbers I can get with just the coilovers installed and if I need more camber then the Cup arms will come next, probably along with toe arms.

I was under the impression that the Cup ones didn't have shims. One of them (the Cup or the GT3) have shims and one doesn't. That's what I understood. I have shims. Whichever it is that has shims is what I have. Either way, I now have a ton of camber and love it. Camber makes such a huge difference.

Do you mind telling me how much you paid and exactly what you got? You can PM me if you don't want to post it.

I am looking through my receipts now. I've bought so much stuff... I don't even remember where I even bought them from. Sorry. I'm looking still though.
