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\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe kit enables adjustable track width, camber, caster, roll center, and anti-dive 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\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SPL FLCAK (Front Lower Control Arm Kit) is a complete front kit which includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart Description\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFLCA 981 V2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustable Lower Control Arms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTR 991\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustable Tension Arms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\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\u003e\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 LCAs 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\u003eCaster Adjustment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the Ideal Caster for Better Lateral Grip\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother important alignment spec is caster angle. Caster angle is particularly helpful on a McPherson strut suspension because it increases the amount of camber that is gained as steering angle is increased. It also improves the centering torque on the steering wheel for straight line stability and additional tire feedback. The result is better grip mid-corner and an improvement to peak braking by slightly reducing the need for static camber.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdjustable caster also allows you to adjust the wheel location (side view) to prevent tire rub with the front bumper, or fender in some cases.\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\u003ch4\u003eAnti-Dive Adjustment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFine Tune the Chassis Response Under Hard Braking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut simply, anti-dive geometry is similar to roll center, but viewed from the side rather than the front. The more anti-dive (expressed as a %) a car has less the front suspension will compress under braking. This geometry becomes more important as cars increase braking force with grippy tires and aero, especially on bumpy tracks and softer front spring rates. Changing anti-dive geometry can be helpful when setting up the front suspension to maintain acceptable front splitter heights or sufficient front suspension travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable Camber, Caster, Roll Center, and Anti-Dive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight: 4.63 lbs (2.10 kg) per Side (9% 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\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\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 Billet, Hollow Aluminum Trailing Link (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\/div\u003e","brand":"SPL Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44138777575511,"sku":"JQJG_SPL FLCAK 981","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8642\/1591\/files\/SPL-FLCAK-981-L1-0-Front-Lower-Control-Arm-Kit-HiRes__97233.jpg?v=1786459441","url":"https:\/\/jmautosports.com\/products\/spl-parts-1219-posche-911-carrera-991-1216-caymanboxter-981-17-boxtercayman-718982-lca-kit-spl-flcak-981","provider":"JM Auto Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
