GT3 Lower Control Arms (LCA)
996 and 997 GT3 cars came equipped with adjustable type lower control arms fit to the front of the car. This two-piece design allows the fitment of shims between inner and outer halves, enabling the control arm to be extended. This has the effect of both increasing camber and widening track width, increasing cornering grip and performance.
There are two flavors of factory GT3 LCA:
– GT3 Street Lower control arms have a rubber central bushing and is paired with a rubber inner
– GT3 Cup Lower Control arms have a solid caster-adjustable center bushing and is paired with a spherical bearing inner for added performance, control and precision.These same GT3 lower control arms can be fit to all 996, 997, Boxster and Cayman cars through 2020 to both the front and rear. They can also be fit the front of 991 cars.
This a great performance upgrade allowing increased camber, track width and performance.
The GT3 lower control arm is a system built up of three or four component parts, each ordered separately.
– GT3 lower control arm outer
– GT3 lower control arms shims (various thicknesses, stackable)
– Litronic bracket
– GT3 lower control arm inner
Elephant Racing has developed an upgraded GT3 type lower control arm. These are readily available and dimensionally identical to the factory parts. They can be mix-matched with the factory type inner/outer lower control arm and shims.Like the factory GT3 lower control arms, the Elephant Racing outer arm has an integrated ball joint that is weather sealed. Unlike the factory GT3 lower control arms, the ball joint in the Elephant Racing arms is rebuildable. We offer a rebuild kit allowing you to renew the arm when needed.The Elephant Racing outer arm is offered in two flavors, A GT3 Street Outer Lower Control and GT3 Cup Outer Lower Control Arm; GT3 street is equipped with a rubber bushed central bushing, GT3 Cup is equipped with a solid caster adjustable central bushing.
These can be paired with a choice of GT3 lower control arms inner;
– Elephant Racing GT3 lower control arm inner rubber bushing
– Elephant Racing GT3 lower control arm inner spherical bearing
– Factory GT3 lower control arm inner rubber bushing
These same arms can be fit to the rear of 996/997 GT3 cars and can also be fit to regular non-GT3 996/997 for the same performance benefits.
The outer arms are provided as left and right side, and combined with inner portion. Each arm is available separately.
