Necessary hardware
1702/2702
In order to mount the front McPherson
struts on the car, you need the mounting
plate for the top mount from a Supercup
or a GT2 car. If you use the GT2 plate, you
will have to use the supplied spacers
(5522-01) for the mounting screws, see
figure 4, page 3. The camber adjustment
range with the GT2 plate will be smaller,
but you still have the option of changing
the camber with the camber bushings on
the upright bracket.
1703/2703
On this kit the strut is equipped with a
standard Porsche rubber top mount.

Notes
NOTE!
The hose must have a certain slack, to enable
lateral movement of the upper part of the strut,
without the hose being stretched.
CAUTION!
The hose clamps must be tightened with a torque
of maximum 3 Nm.
NOTE!
Make sure that all bolts are tightened to the
correct torque according to your car´s workshop
manual and that nothing fouls the McPherson
strut when the suspension moves through its
travel, or the steering is turned to full lock in either
direction.
