SPC sells them. Do a google for SPC toe bolts. They go on the rear suspension to allow for greater toe adjustment.

I dont see why they would do something for the back and not come out with something for the front at the same time.

Camber Rods: Correct negative camber issue from lowering your car.

Traction Rods: Someone who belives they actually do something can explain them to you.

rear toe rods allow you to adjust the toe so you can lower your car more or adjust the toe when aligning the vehicle.

these are not traction bars.

If you say so...they sure do look like tration rods to me. Furthermore I'd be interested to see who these bars actually adjust the toe without messing up the caster. protocav should chime in about now...

MIAPLAYA, thanks for the link to the toe bolts. Do you have these installed? did they allow for enough toe in (how much camber)?

The other option is to go to coilover in the rear and replace to outboard spring cup/toe link with an adjustable one...

These Hotchkis ones are just like all the others (JIC, Kinentix, 350EVO, etc...) you will not be able to adjust toe, without screwing with caster and camber adversely.

I do not have them yet. Several SD members do though and they were able to get their rear toe and camber in perfectly with these and any camber arms.

camber links will be avalible first of December . Pre orders will be avalible for the next 2 weeks.

The toe links will not be out till after the first of the year. i saw the protos at sema and they really are an impressive unit.

I would like to now where the toe links would go. I lowered my car and had it alligned using the kentix camber arms front and rear. One side of rear toe came within spec but one side didnt. I bought one toe bolt and it fixed the problem. So what would be the point of the toe arms. They look like traction arm to me.

Gotta love my350z and it's millions of open-ended/ unresolved threads.

35oZephyR first thing first got to comment on that avatar. got damn!

Now on to the Hotchkis links.
Here is the latest. the toe links will not make it into production. they found during testing that they didn't move the toe enough. they are working on a new piece for the toe.

the camber rods do work and we should see a some in production in the next few weeks.

Hotchkis is waiting on the new toe bolts to be tested before they release them both on the market.

As soon as I hear something i will pass it along.

Greg
