The use of PTFE-lined, F1-fit FK USA spherical bushings eliminates OEM rubber bushing deflection and bind, allowing the suspension to freely articulate without undampened rubber spring forces, while also preventing camber loss, bumpsteer, and vague feedback that occur due to bushing deflection.\u003cbr\u003eThe kit enables adjustable track width, camber, and roll center for a deeper customization of the front suspension geometry to better suit your driving preferences and adapt to changes in tracks, aero loading, tires, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Intro Description --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCamber Adjustment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncrease Camber for More Peak Lateral Grip\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the biggest improvements to cornering grip you can make is adding more front negative camber. This also will significantly improve tire life by reducing heavy wear on the outer portion of the tread that occurs when there's insufficient camber angle relative to body roll.\u003cbr\u003eElongating the lower arm will add more camber without the need for adjustable camber plates or eccentric bolts that could potentially slip. However, pairing the SPL FLCAs with camber plates allows you more adjustability options for inner and outer tire clearance as well as elongating the track width while retaining a specific camber angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTrack Width Adjustment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGet More from the Inner Tire\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtending the front track width promotes a more neutral handling behavior and reduces the overall amount of weight that shifts off the inner tire and onto the heavily loaded outer. This is a big reason why Porsche has added nearly 5\" (124mm) to the front track of the 911 GT3 since the 996, and nearly 3\" (72mm) to the Boxster\/Cayman since the 986. The SPL front lower control arm, SPL tension \/ traction arm, and an adjustable camber plate allows you to properly maximize front track width and set your ideal camber angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRoll Center Adjustment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReduce Body Roll with Geometry not Spring Rate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoll center is the imaginary point that the chassis rolls about during cornering. The distance between the roll center and the center of gravity (front-view, vertical) is essentially the amount of leverage the chassis has to produce roll. When you lower your Porsche the roll center drops further than the center of gravity, resulting in a larger roll moment (force). Using the roll center correction spacers to correct the angle of the front lower control arm brings the roll center back up, resulting in less body roll at the same spring rate and less tendency to understeer with fast transitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Technical Benefits --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable Front Camber, Roll Center, and Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight: 2.86 lbs (1.30 kg) per Side (16.6% Lighter than OEM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignificantly Better Front Grip and Tire Wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpened Turn-in and Steering Feel from Eliminating Bushing Deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved Braking Stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreater Adaptability for Wheel\/Tire Clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- Benefits List --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Arms and Clevis (Anodized Black)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6061-T6 Aluminum Spacers and 360° Clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4140 Chromoly Steel Double Adjuster (Electroless Nickel Plated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304 Stainless Steel Adjustment Spacers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4340 Chromoly Steel Studs (Heat-treated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass 10.9 Metric Hardware \/ SAE Grade 8 Imperial Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTi-6Al-4V Titanium 1\/4\"-20 Socket Head Allen Screws (Anodized Blue)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- Materials List --\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-xn4bghc5\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/made-in-usa.png\" style=\"max-width:100%\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- Made In USA --\u003e \u003c!-- \u003cdiv id=\"featured-on\" class=\"featured\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eFeatured On\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003ch4\u003eEric Sutton's \/ Driver's Source Solo National Champion 996 Turbo\u003c\/h4\u003e\n        \u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" title=\"Eric Sutton's 996 Turbo\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-xn4bghc5\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/eric-sutton-996tt.jpg?t=1707863724\" alt=\"Eric Sutton's 996 Turbo\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/\u003e\n        \u003ch4\u003eChelsea DeNofa's Cayman\u003c\/h4\u003e\n        \u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" title=\"Chelsea DeNofa's Cayman\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-xn4bghc5\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/denofa-cayman.jpg?t=1756158451\" alt=\"DeNofa Cayman\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/\u003e \n\u003c\/div\u003e Featured On --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNoise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-xn4bghc5\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/nvh-rating-8.png?t=1723245776\" style=\"max-width:100%\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front lower control arms are an important part of mitigating NVH. By eliminating all bushing deflection the front suspension will transmit more road noise, felt energy from bumps, and can increase tramlining in some cases. However, the reduction of bushing bind and reduced friction will improve ride quality over smoother roads and allow the shock to work more effectively over moderate bumps.\u003cbr\u003eTire choice, tire pressure, spring rates, and shock quality will have significant influence on ride quality as well. For daily driving, felt energy and noise can be reduced moderately by running a more compliant tire, either through reduced pressure (suitable for the load and tire) and\/or taller or softer sidewalls, as well as optimized compression dampening on a quality shock.\u003cbr\u003eMost drivers will find the NVH to be present and tolerable, similar to an OEM GT3 or GT4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- NVH Rating --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2012 - 2019 Porsche 911 Carrera, S, GTS, 4, 4S, Turbo, Turbo S (991)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2012 - 2016 Porsche Boxster, Boxster S (981)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2012 - 2016 Porsche Cayman, Cayman S (981)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2017+ Porsche Boxster, Boxster T, Boxster S, Boxster GTS (718 \/ 982)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2017+ Porsche Cayman, Cayman T, Cayman S, Cayman GTS (718 \/ 982)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e991 GT3 and 981\/982 (718) GT4 Use a Different Kit: FLCAK 991 GT3 (Coming Soon)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Fitment List --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eADDITIONAL FITMENT INFO\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWILL THIS FIT A ...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe limit the above applications to known fitments from testing and research.
