Product Details
SPL Parts TITANIUM Series Front Lower Control Arm (LCA 996 V2) kit for the 1996-2004 Porsche Boxster (986) provides track width, camber, caster, roll center, and anti-dive adjustment. Designed for high-performance street, track, and racing use, this kit allows you to fully dial in your suspension geometry for improved handling, increased front-end grip, and more precise steering response. The kit includes Black Anodized CNC-machined Billet 6061-T6 Aluminum Lower Control Arms and 2024-T351 Aluminum Trailing Links.
No more jam nuts. Long gone are the days of fumbling with multiple wrenches while trying to hold alignment settings in place. The slotted arm design allows the use of pinch bolts, while SPL’s Rotating Clamp system and exclusive Double Adjuster securely lock in camber and track width adjustments. The Double Adjuster is machined from 4130 Chromoly and electroless nickel plated for superior strength and corrosion resistance.
Billet 2024-T351 aluminum trailing links are gun drilled to reduce weight while maintaining exceptional strength. The Rotating Clamp system enables fast and accurate caster adjustments. Blue anodized titanium hardware further reduces unsprung weight without compromising durability. Anti-dive (front) and anti-squat (rear) adjustments are achieved using stainless steel spacers at the forward mounting point, allowing precise tuning of chassis balance. Roll center correction is handled with stainless steel spacers and heat-treated 4340 Chromoly ball joint studs, restoring proper suspension geometry on lowered Boxster 986 models. FK Rod Ends and high-misalignment spherical bearings eliminate OEM bushing deflection and bind, providing smoother articulation, sharper feedback, and more consistent alignment under load.
