Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The change from rubber bushings to ball/spherical joints was nowhere near as harsh as I feared it might be.

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.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

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 https://stringtheorygarage.com/cdn/shop/products/1... https://www.design911.co.uk/uploads/products/d3bc9... 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 ?

POST 2Original post

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.

Apologies for somehow managing to have three threads !

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
