Are the rear Toe Arms necessary for a coilover kit that’s OEM style? I read it is for true coilovers. Just wondering if anyone can chime in and confirm this. I plan on going pretty low, to get my wheels flush and was just wondering if I’m going to need to order some of these. I’d rather get it done right the first time around when I get my coils put on. Thanks for any help you all can give!

 

The confusion comes from the rear suspension design. In OEM form it has the spring separated from the shock, whereas a "true coilover" has the parts together as one unit. The SPL kit is an option to remove the OEM design and replace it with the "true coilover". This has some advantages but is costly and probably not what you are looking for. Most of the kits on the market offer a height adjustable setup with the OEM separated design. These kits are generally advertised as a coilover kit as well because they work in a similar fashion to the "true coilover" for all intents and purposes.

So long story short, stick with the OEM design and buy the basic coilover setup available from most vendors.

 

Wait, toe *arms*? Aren't those the uh...I think they're called the radius or radial or something? You'll most likely need toe *bolts*, but I think the toe arms that are sold are actually a bad thing to use....I'm not sure though. Someone with more knowledge might have better input.

 

With an OEM type coilover (separate spring from damper), you ideally want to use a camber/toe kit like SPC/Eibach that uses a camber arm and eccentric toe bolt. A separate arm for the toe works as well, but it can be time consuming to set up, and also can affect caster if the car is especially low

 

Sorry man I went way off subject, but Adam is right... stick with the Camber Arms and Toe Bolts, alingment shops have a tough enough time with the basic adjustments.
