Replacing OEM spring buckets (track car)
I want to get rid of the spring buckets (I have true coilovers now) and replace them with light and adjustable toe arms, which are suitable for a track. I can't get rid of a big negative camber (-2,5) right now so which toe arms do I need to buy? I think there are two types of aftermarket rear arms and I don't want to get a wrong one.
Is there one for toe adjustment and one for camber or can I just buy one pair to replace the buckets and gain more toe/camber adjustability?

Go to one of our sponsor vendors and look at them. You'll see there's a large difference between camber arms and "spring bucket replacement toe arms" - they do NOT interchange and functions are diametrically opposed.
You won't correct camber with the toe arms. (There will be some camber movement with change of rear toe but certainly not a whole degree.)

Being that your's is a track car, go for what Mic linked, I hear SPL is the unicorn-sauce for our cars.
(Sorry!) Semi-hijack question though:
What is the NVH like with SPL toe arms, camber arms (and front UCAs)? I'm in the market for some suspension upgrades and been eyeing SPL parts because of sexyness, but they look like they'd induce a fair bit of nvh..

Check out what the + & - adjustment range is, on both Toe & camber arms, it says what it is on the SPL site. I am happy with mine for my needs, but there is less expensive options.
I would say the car feels more precise, with less play/slop by changing the parts TA/CA/FUCA and not NVH at all.

I ran these and they are amazing. Voodoo13 is American made with quality parts, so you cant go wrong. They are the best part for the money, I would avoid godspeed and isr.
