Help with rear toe!!

OptionZero · 04-18-2020, 01:53 PM

I am mostly annoyed that this guy clearly ain’t broke. Read his other posts. New Work 3 pc wheels and a turbo kit is over 10k USD minimum

But a couple hundred dollar difference in suspension parts and he’s freakin out

You’re talking a few hundred extra to do it right, once, the first time. The true expense is paying twice. First time for **** parts, 2nd time to correct things.

Then there's the 2nd time that is also halfassed, necessitating a 3rd attempt

That's the problem, I am broke now after all that.

Anyways, I would like to ask one more serious question.

I am about to purchase the SPL parts, I have in my order list I have:
SPL FUCA
SPL Rear Toe Link
SPL Adjustable Bumpsteer front outer tie rod end
Z1 Eccentric lockout kit.

But on my Z currently I have installed is the SPC/Eibach rear camber arms, which I think my Z has fine rear camber specs with atm.

Can I install the SPL rear toe links and leave the SPC camber arm in there or do I need to remove/replace the SPC camber arm first?

The SPL rear camber arm is thicker all around and uses a superior adjuster that is easier for your alignment tech. It will never break. Google images of each arm the the diff is quite obvious

If you’re throwing all the arms on you might as well put that one on too. Theyre gonna be doing an alignment

On the Z1 lockout kit make sure you get the camber AND toe lockout

shadow85 · 05-07-2020, 11:40 PM

So you are suggesting I get the SPL rear camber arm and repace the current SPC ones already on my car?

OptionZero · 05-08-2020, 12:01 AM

Did I stutter?

Well no I just thought no need to spend more money on it when my camber specs were not the issue.

It was my front caster and rear toe in question and I am getting the SPL parts to adjust those.

You wouldn't have had to buy parts twice if you had listened and followed the advice from the beginning. Trust me I have learned my lessons on doing it right the first time. Last lesson was burying Evo-r side mirrors did stupid twice I got the first set at a huge discount. Finally bought Craft Squares and there is no comparison as to the quality. Do it right the first or not at all.

So I ended up ordering Voodoo13 FUCA, rear camber and rear toe arms, SPL Adjustable bumpteer front outer tie rod ends, Spl eccentric lockout kit.

Will take all this to a good alignment tech I was refered to by a motorsport wheel shop here and see if this all fixes my stability issues. Otherwise I have just wasted a **** ton of money.

Every issue with the car thus far has related to what sits in the driver’s seat

Lol I listened to your advice on getting good suspension arms and going to good aligment tech referred to by a motorsport shop.

Am I still the culprit?
