OEM Toe Arms Adjustable?

Are the OEM toe arms on the FRS adjustable? I'm getting an alignment done tomorrow and need to know if they can be adjusted

A shit ton. Enough that the question sounds kind of weird. What exactly is your concern?

Well... I ordered SPC lower arms and they came with toe adjustments. Just wondering if I should install the SPC toe adjustments or if the OEM ones will be suffice?

SPC comes with offset toe bushings that require the stock ones to be pressed out. They are meant to provide additional adjustment for lowered cars, however this depends on what ride height you want the car to be at.

Considering you don't know what ride height you want your car to be at (see replies in your other thread in this subforum), you should first figure out what ride height you want the car to be at and whether or not there is sufficient toe adjustment to meet your needs.

Amount of toe correction isn't directly related to ride height, it's related to how much you're changing the camber via the LCA. The more you

That said, if the car is lowered a lot and you're dialing out a lot of camber, you'll probably run out of toe adjustment range.

Yeah, I was mostly trying to point out OP's fallacy in logic on how to get alignment settled for his car.

Figure out what ride height first, then figure out the rest.

So... got the alignment today and the tech stated that he has never seen toe off by that much before. I'm lowered about 2" on Tein Street Flex w/ SPC lower control arms. The tech stated that the OEM toe arms are really good and he was able to put everything in the green with room to spare so the toe bushings from SPC weren't needed. Hope this helps someone in the future.

How much did you adjust the camber? That's what affects toe, not ride height.
