I needed more adjustability rear to be able to match my front camber settings on track so I added rear GT2 camber arms and updated versions of the GT3 Cup toe arm (double left/right threaded). The wing and wheels I had already.

Grip rear when turning took a leap when testing last night but for street I'll regularly drive without the shims.

camber!

do the arms provide other benefits?

The Cup toelinks have solid inner mount so less flex on accel and brake, aslo accuracy of camber and toe-adjustment is easier to get with these than using the oem bolt. And it gives room for MORE camber than the oem adjustment bolt.

Don't know retail... didn't pay retail.

You can get good Tarrett (similar) toe links for around 350-450 ish, the P ones are normally very expensive! OEM alu toe-arms are lighter than most other things btw, you need to go titanium or something instead of steel to actually reduce weight.

OEM camber arms are around 650 for the pair, shims add some bucks, weight about the same as OEM non adjustable.

Right now running out of stock in many places so hurry up.

The good thing with longer lower camber arms are that they extend the wheel outwards (instead of just tipping in the top) still with good geometry. Spacers can ruin the ideal geometry and pressure point on the wheel to ground.
