Default Rear Alignemt Hardware for track duty

Shopping around for some rear camber links. Are SPC up to track duty? Ive seen some photos around the forum of broken links.
SPL may be the best, but what are the alternatives?

How about toe bolts that dont slip? Any options out there?

if you read the suspension 101 thread, jason talks about how the spc bolts have about 5 degrees of play in them and will come a little loose during heavy track use. most track guys run spl toe arms with a lockout kit iirc. but you have to have true coilover style to run those.

read over the suspension 101 sticky at the top of this sub forum..

My friends SPC camber arm snapped at the track while going at a decent rate of speed, he's lucky he was going into a braking zone. Do you want that to be you? What about you during a 100mph corner with a wall next to you?

SPL is the way to go.

SPL arms and if you read suspension 101, you can remake quality toe bolts

SPL is probably going to be everyone's first choice but I think BattleVersion is a great alternative at a lower pricepoint.

So im not going to change the suspension out this season, just get a good track alignment to finish off the rest of the year.

When changing camber with the aftermarket camber links in the rear. Do I need to have the larger adjustment toe bolts for stock suspension and ride height? What kinda range does stock have?

thanks.

Typically at stock height you can get the car adjust to a proper track alignment. I would shoot for -2 to -2.2
