Whiteline adjustable toe arms question

Hello, I am currently in the process of purchasing new toe arms for my brz because the stock toe arms don't offer enough adjustability for my drop.

I narrowed my choices down to the whiteline adjustable toe arms and the GTspec toe arms.
I am leaning towards getting the whiteline adjustable toe arms because the GTspec toe arms are presently back ordered until late august.

I had a question,

1. Do the whiteline toe arms offer the same amount of adjustability as the GTspec toe arms?

Ask them for the minimum and maximum length specs on them. Though, I don't see why either set won't offer so much adjustment range beyond what you would need. Usually that is the case with these types of adjustable arms. Unless you got some wicked long (or short) upper and lower control arms.

I called them and asked and they said that whiteline offers 50mm of adjustability. Is that more than enough of adjustability to fix toe for an aftermarket drop on coils?

I'd be very leery about what GTSpec says. They still owe us sets from October of 2014. It's always just a few more weeks, just a few more weeks.. .etc.

Whiteline arms are very good and would be the way I would go at this point.

Thanks for the response!

Would you happen to know if the adjustability of the whiteline is the same as gtspec? I'm worried that the whiteline toe arm will not be able to adjust to the degree that i need it to.

Check out these guys. They're more #stance and #drift oriented. Extremely beefy, but also beefy weight to match. I Don't know about adjustment range, but these will take the abuse of extreme alignment better than anything else on the market that I've seen.

Edit: sorry I just realized they've not release their rear toe arms.. But Like I said, call the manufactures to get the max and minimum length specs or vendors that carry different brands that have on hand to take measurements. Good luck!
