dude seriously, you are making all the newb mistakes when it comes to buying wheels man. stop looking for "deals" on just any wheel. find a set you really love. save up and buy the wheels you want not any wheel you just stumble upon and buy because its a good deal. otherwise you are gonna end up wasting money, time and never be satisfied.
Made my own......
Yeah so the SPL PRO rear toe arms adjustment sucks ***** at the toe location (cant get wrenches in there) and I couldn't find battle version rear toe arms in stock anywhere....
SOooo, i sad FUG it and made my own....lock out washers and all.

It amazes me of what you can make sometimes lol.
Maybe I should of gone into engineering. lol
In other news, what's a good OTC brake fluid? I am thinking Valvoline SynPower, but I am open to anything. I'm trying to get a hold of CVR motorsport about the order but they still haven't got back to me yet.

Coffee & Cars is the last Saturday of every month, so it will be on the 27th....You can come to Tech day early because it's this Saturday the 6th !
this month they are doing it last saturday and this saturday, corbin i'll see you at C&C and we can roll together to the tech day lolz. and just to clarify, we are talking about a slow roll AT THE TRACK right?
Oh, thats cool...then I might Cruise up there early and then go to Tech Day around noon...just in time for some Pizza !
Jason, got a quick question for ya. You are running on a true coilover setup correct? I'm about to order the SPL rear camber kit and the SPL toe arms so that I can install mine. Are the SPL toe arms adequate for a street setup that will see sparing track use (MAYBE a few times a year)? I don't think I'll have to adjust toe all that often, or will I?
Oh and I'm also getting a set of Whiteline rear lower shock bushings, how hard are those to install?
Thanks!

yes, the spl stuff will work fine for street or track. If i would have known you needed the toe arms i would have made you some too......
as for adjustment - adjusting with toe arms and camber arms make adjustment super easy....you will have to do it when you notice problems or say every now and then, twice a year, once a year kinda thing depending no how the car feels to you...pulling etc...
Rear shock bushing:
Rear shock bushing im sure is a little difficult because i would say to best remove the rear spindle and press the bushing out and press the new one in. I have a press to do those things.
also,
That location might be better done with a bearing or ball joint puller set since its accessible there with one..... on top, wheel off car, jacked up and enough room in the wheel well. but then again, that depends on if the set you buy has the press adapter circle tool to remove it..
like this one: HF item #38335

also, honestly, i would pick the spc rear CAMBER arm over spl any day...you should buy squeakys.....
Try adjusting those when mounted in the lug of the rear subframe, its hard to get big wrenches in there.
The spc has a turn buckle mid way.....so there is nothing in the way when adjusting.
And as for toe arms:
I would rather have "Battle Version" since its a complete hex to turn versus the SPL end thats also shoved up in the subframe lug.
its harder to get wrenches up there....spl's ends are adjustable on the rod end side......thing is its stuffed inbetween the aluminum lug of the subframe...........they look nice though..
see pic: spl's are just like the top pictured arm:
