SPL Parts Front Lower Control Arm Kit – 1997-2004 Porsche Boxster (986) / 2005-2012 Porsche Cayman (986)

The SPL Parts Front Lower Control Arm Kit is a premium suspension upgrade that transforms the handling of your 986-generation Porsche Boxster or Cayman.

By replacing the factory rubber bushings with precision PTFE-lined, F1-fit FK USA spherical bearings, this kit completely eliminates bushing deflection and bind. The result is sharper steering response, significantly improved front-end grip, and exceptional stability under hard braking. T

he SPL Front Lower Control Arms also give you full adjustability over track width, camber, caster, roll center, and anti-dive, allowing you to fine-tune your car’s geometry for track days, autocross, or spirited street driving.

Whether you’re chasing lap times or simply want more confidence and precision from your 986, this kit delivers the performance and adjustability serious Porsche drivers demand.

Key Features

  • PTFE-Lined FK USA Spherical Bushings – F1-grade bearings eliminate rubber deflection and bind
  • Improved Front Grip & Braking Stability – Better mechanical grip and reduced body roll under load
  • Precise Steering Feel – Eliminates vague feedback caused by factory bushing deflection
  • Full Adjustability – Adjustable track width, camber, caster, roll center, and anti-dive
  • Prevents Camber Loss & Bumpsteer – Maintains proper alignment geometry under load
  • Lightweight & Strong – CNC-machined from high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum
  • Direct Fitment – Designed specifically for 986 Boxster and Cayman chassis
