recommendations on camber kits

997.1 gt3 lowered on original coils want to fix my camber it's eating up my tires. I've heard fixing the camber will reduce my handling because the cars original specs are Cambered any ideas. Thanks

lowering the car increases negative camber... but you need to get upgarded upper control arms (DOG BONES) to get the correct geometry when you lower the car.

If the tires are not wearing even its an alignment issue.. take it to a reputable shop and tell them to fix it..

all close to you and amazing shops!

Negitive camber is not what really eats up the tires....too much toe eats up the tires.

You can run zero toe up front and .14 toes int eh rear and you will find your tires wear much better. Plus you can keep the stock negitive camber settings for your GT3.

Just so you know....I run -2.5 front and -1.9 rear with zero toe front and no mor than .16 degrees toe rear. I drive my car a lot on the street and my street tires at 17k miles look like they can go another 17k miles. Again is all in the toe more than the camber settings that eats tires.

I talked to TPC (the provider of my swaybars) Rear camber should be adjusted via the eccentric bolt on the inboard side to the LCA. Leave the dog bones at stock length. Plenty of adjustment available this way w/o messing with the dog bones. (I am running 2.1 neg camber with more on tap if needed.

Check toe settings: should be 0% front and about 1.5mm per side in the back
