I own a GTS and find that the stock suspensions (PASM, 20 mm drop) is very good. Therefore, thinking about just doing the bare basics and as such looking at GT3 LCA or Tarret "Cup" LCA with monoballs.

Does anyone have any experience with both? Going to primarily use it for changing front camber to about -2.3. However, want to know if anyone felt more steering feel and responsiveness due to tighter components.

Main concern of course is NVH. I've had polyurethane bushings on other vehicles and was not bad at all but never experienced these monoballs.

If you're on stock suspension go with a GT3 lca. The Tarett Cups are nice, we sell them, but if you're going there go with SPL LCAs. More bang for the buck. For mostly street and any NVH concerns stay GT3.

We have them:

Thanks. So is the NVH pretty bad with tarret? Assuming camber stays the same, will the OEM bushing for the GT3, still have noticeable improvement in feel and response?

The NVH is not bad, but if NVH is your primary concern and this isn't a track oriented car there's no reason to go with the mono-balled LCAs.

I run SPL LCAs in my Cayman front and rear, in fact I don't have a single bushing left in my car. Everything is mono-balled and I don't think it's too bad on the street but other than going to cars & coffee it's really just a track car..

Haven't run these myself, but just for another data point my shop recommended I install these: 361 RSS Front Lower Control Arms (987, 997/991 C2, C4, Turbo, 981/982/718). Not sure about NVH.

Priced right!

FWIW I went with the OE GT3 LCA's

I've been there done that with spherical & solids everywhere on past cars.
This time I decided to stay with OE components where possible.
I still track the car a lot but I don't want to diminish the street side of things.

Thread resurrection...would you mind if I asked what kind of alignment you're setup with? I just ordered Ohlin's R&T's, but need camber...so I'm considering the GT3 LCA's. I don't want to deal with a harsh ride or noisy bearings, either. But what I'm after here is whether you have adjustable LCA's in the back, too. I'm not sure how much camber is adjustable with the stock suspension in the back, but it sounds like I may need to get front and rear LCA's.

Thanks!

Stock will go to about -2. I’m running -2.4 in the back.

I wish that were true for me...I'm maxed out with stock suspension at about -.8. I'm on the base suspension...no PASM or anything. Not sure if that makes a difference.

For the back, how did you get that much camber?

For the -2, that was on pure stock also not on pasm. You should be able to get that, and about -1.6 in the front.

Interesting...I checked mine on a leveled garage floor with my camber gauge. Couldn't even get to -1 in the front. Did you do anything else other than the top mount adjustment?

For the rear, I think -2 would be good for what I want to do.

The top is the only adjustment in the front. The 718s tend to get less camber then the 987,981.

Thanks, Josh. The GT3 Adjustable LCA seems to be pretty universal among several different Porsche models, correct? I'm not seeing a different part number that's specific to the Cayman.

Correct, they are from the 911 GT3 actually. The Cayman GT4s come with the same adjustable LCA from the factory as well.

How do you adjust the camber on the stock setup?

Top hats have almost 1 degree of adjustment in the front. Rear is LCA eccentric.
