They can be stacked in various combinations, allowing accurate and repeatable camber adjustments without replacing the factory lower control arms.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

As we continued developing the
996 platform
for track use, one area that became increasingly important was alignment. As grip levels increase and drivers begin pushing the limits of the chassis, proper camber becomes critical for maximizing front-end grip, maintaining tire contact through the corner, and getting the most from a performance tire.
The factory suspension provides the ability to adjust camber through shims, but the
996 utilizes unique front and rear control arm geometry
that requires platform-specific shim profiles for accurate alignment changes. To provide a precise, repeatable solution, we developed the
SP Motorsports 996 Camber Shim Kit
.
Why Upgrade Your Camber Shims?
Whether you're dialing in your first track alignment or fine-tuning a dedicated track car, proper camber adjustment offers several advantages:
Our shims are CNC machined to match the unique interface of the
996 front and rear control arms
. They can be stacked in various combinations, allowing accurate and repeatable camber adjustments without replacing the factory lower control arms.
Designed with motorsport in mind, the shims deliver maximum strength, long-term durability, and minimal weight. Every shim is manufactured to provide precise fitment and consistent alignment changes, making them well suited for HPDE, Time Trial, Club Racing, and dedicated track cars.
Recommended Shim Stack Range
Front Camber Adjustment
0�16 mm
Rear Camber Adjustment
0�8 mm
Compatibility
Fits Porsche 996 models equipped with two-piece lower control arms only.
Like many of the products we develop, these shims came from our continued effort to extract the most from the
996 platform
through real-world track testing. Rather than replacing suspension components, they provide an OEM-style solution for making precise camber adjustments while preserving the factory suspension geometry.
We're always interested in hearing what alignment settings other
996 owners
are running. If you have questions about camber targets, tire wear, suspension setup, or choosing the correct shim stack for your application, we'd be happy to discuss what we've learned through our own development and track experience.
Nice kit but none of the stock carrera 2/4 or S models came with control arms that are adjustable. This would require this group to spend thousands if dollars in upgrades to use these. Personally i have spent the money and currently use similar products on my car. Do u offer an additional option for control arms other then the pmna upgrade or other available aftermarket arms?
Thanks for supporting our cars and good luck.
Also any interest in developing an eccentric lock out kit for the rear lower control arms? Similar to the toe bar lock outs.
my settings..
Front camber 4.2*, toe out 1.5mm per side
rear camber 3.4*, toe in 2mm per side
Shim stack date wont help much becasue im using a combination of aftermarket parts for control arms.
Hello!
At the moment we only have the
Toe Locking Plate Kit
. We may be developing one in the future.
We also have our own
SPM GT3 Cup Style LCA
. When we replace the LCA in the rears we usually reuse the eccentric bolt and leave it in place and do our adjustments with our shim kit.
Thank you for your interest and good luck!
