The boots don’t look great, but once installed they’re compressed and fit onto the trunnions better.

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

I decided to bite the bullet and just go for it
So Eibach are it is with rear adjustable toe links by elephant Racing
I am 1 degree 25 mins at the front, so will move to a bit more front camber and perhaps a tad more rear
Good choice on the Eibach adjustable front coffin arms.
Bad choice on the rear toe arms. Cancel them if you can and go with these instead :

(they utilise the Porsche outer end, which you can replace cheaply should you ever need to)
I had pretty much the whole Elephant catalogue on my 996, I wasn’t overly impressed.
If you run the Eibach adjustable arms at max camber you
may
need a pair of these as well :

Iike the feel and turn in, I have a GT3 991.1 and run 2 degrees 25 mins front and 2 mins 10 degrees at the rear an haven't been on track for over 2 years
Here's my C2 set up

I run 2.5 rear and 2.0 front, it's mega and will never see the track. Rear toe arms I bought a set of Gravity Performance arms, nice proper ball joint and a sealed bearing inner, great for road use and the price of them is where a simple adjustable arm should be imo (about £160).
I’m also looking at the Eibach lower control arms for my 997.2 S. Looking on the Design 911 site is says the following:
“For the vehicles fitted with Hydraulic bushes (987/981/997 front arms) the central bush can be replaced with a suitable Aftermarket item to accommodate this fitment.”
Suggests the central bush on the front arms will need updating before fitment?

Thanks for that. I guess the question is which aftermarket bush is best suited for the Eibachs on the front LCAs?
The Eibach arms have arrived and although they talk about being able to grease them "• Fitted with a fully rebuildable balljoint which is greasable too. It can also be preloaded to your desired amount of torque at the balljoint." I am underhwelmed by the quality of the boots, also the two sets I have recieved one was open and has a boot that looks rather sad..

It feels pretty planted at the rear, I think 12 toe in is factory GT3 spec
Be interested to look through some GT3 set ups and see what people run on the road with occasional track use
