Porsche 997.2 lower arms and trailing arms
Discussion
I had a full suspennsion overhaul 2 years ago
With new front lower arms, new top mounts, KW V3, new roll bar biushes, drop links etc. Looks like the front trailing looks like the rear lower arms and trailing arms were not replaced and now showing wear.
So I am thinking about adding some camber on the front and fitting adjustable lower arms and adjustable trailing arms at the front and possibly adjustable arms at the back as well. A very expensive business it seems. With GT3 parts (adjustable with shims) even more expensive than some 'improved' aftermarket parts. Doing a bit of reading and assessing I think I may go for the Eibach kit with

RSS,elephant, BBi and a few others are even more silly pricing. I can only find positive comment on the eibach, they are 6061 T6 and look nicely made
Any thought here or comment ?

Not seen that Eibach solution before, but it looks neat and they're a quality manufacturer.
I renewed all my linkages before I set about swapping shocks on my 997.1 GT3. Most of the kit was RSS and has worked well. From memory, I think (due to availability of anything else) I went for Elephant Racing top mounts for the front shocks.
All worked extremely well. Was costly, but definitely worth it. The change from rubber bushings to ball/spherical joints was nowhere near as harsh as I feared it might be. The compromise in the decision process was always biased to track anyway, but it did not ruin the car on the road.
