I have Tein Basics coilovers with SPL camber kits w/toe bolts..

I've lowered my car where the wells sit over the tires "20's". The fronts are fine but my rear are still eating my tires from the inside. The person adjusing the cambers and toe today told me I need a toe bar not a toe bolt to correct this..

Any ideas on one I can get FAST? I need to get it ASAP!!!

Z1Motorsports has several to choose from. Everything I've ordered from them has been shipped out the same day.

 

A toe bar to run with Tien basics is going to cost you around $600

 

Photos of tires helpful.

 

i had tein basics on 19s with spc toe kit,spc rear arms, spc front a arms. before the toe kit my tires were toe'd inward .52 degrees , how much camber are you running that can eat your inside of your tire too. im -2.5 rear camber -1.9 up front 0 toe in rear. stock toe up front its minimal.
im on bc's now ride way much better if you go low low.i think you dialed in too much negatve camber to fit that 20"

 

SPL toe arms. Done

 

Simple fix... raise the car.

 

Or shell out the money for the adjustable arms:

SPL Arms: $650 + tax
Labor to install: $200 + (likely a 3 hour job at $100 an hour)
Alignment $100
Total roughly $1000

 

Exactly!

your only toe correct solution is what terrasmack and Zazz mentioned...the SPL midlink arm which runs for about $600 ish bucks.

raise the car, bring the rear negative camber to within factory spec (less than -2.0 in the rear) and your toe bolt you already have will dial it in and done...if you wanna stay low, then buy the spl midlink arm.

rear arms are 220spc
front arms i paid like 450spc
toe kit was $40spc, rear camber arms came with kit but lost a bolt
and install yourself = free

^ that link is crap!! that is not the OEM toe arm shown in step 1 - that is the RADIUS ROD! that is the WRONG place to adjust toe on the 350z.

if you adjust the drivers side 4 turns, and adjust the passenger side 2 turns, let me know what your thrust angle is on the alignment rack (given camber is matching left to right)...horrible!!

review my post 29 on the suspension 101 thread.

What do your camber and toe alignment numbers look like in the rear after this shop had it in?

 

Don't fill his head with hoop dreams, the SPC arms are for camber adjustment, I think he's looking for toe adjustability...



However, that brings up another question, I know he's slammed but I would think the elongated hole and toe bolts would still work (not sure though). What did the tech say about the bolts and elongation mod?

 

Loose the tein basics if you want toe arms. Those coils don't run in true style so you can't run toe arms as you need the spring bucket. That or raise your rear

 

From what I see "toe arms" is what I need. My camber adjustments are spot on. No problem there. I have about a week so I need a good inexpensive toe arm fix. Any suggestions?
I'm open to used too.

I really love the height and would love to avoid raising the rear.

 

i thought tein basic were oem style coilovers. if they are, you're stuck with the toe bolts.

 

Don't try to help


If you look at post 14, it shows the error in what you say.

 

^ he said cheap. i have those SPL rear mid links. The 800$ retail PLUS the price of a pair of 2.5" springs, is not cheap. He might as well sell those junky teins and buy a set of true coilovers and a set of 150$ toe arms
