yes, also, its not as goofy looking if you are running true c/o's, and the spherical bearing heim joints are more solid then the stock rubber bushing

toe bolt kit's/midlinks- way more adjustablity and are really good if you wanna be super low and track your car too for good alignment specs
i think you got that backwards
toe arms - more adjustibility
toe bolts - less adjustibility

i think you got that backwards
toe arms - more adjustibility
toe bolts - less adjustibility
So, Example: What if you're running the toe bolt kit on a true coilover setup, and you want to run a toe arm in the future? Is this no longer possible, after you already drilled out the subframe to fit the toe bolt kit. After installing the toe arm, won't the toe arm slowly move..later moving your toe out of spec.

It is possible, that logic does not apply.. You just lock in the toe bolt just like you would on the bucket..

YUM!!



This is the camber I am running... my toe is slightly off but I'll readjust tomorrow...

i removed the rear section. but left the front section committed suicide when i murdered an inner clipping point marker . you can definitely make the front half work with a little trimming and some zip-ties. definitely gotta roll your fenders if you're trying to be low/flush. that's a given...

anyone know how i could get my hands on some stanceworks coilovers?

Well because I just put my coils on and the front tires were rubbing on the screws for the fender lining. So I was going to take it out and then maybe see if the fronts could be rolled a little. I just saw that your in davis & Sonoma i'm Sac and Santa Rosa lol.

haha you're domain encompasses mine! i pulled the screws out and rolled the fender with the front section of the liner in there so it kinda pinched it in place and then zip-tied it in a couple places.
