Rear Toe Links?
So far the only rear toe links i can find are made by GTSPEC. I dont have anything against them I am just wondering if anyone else has offerings available so i can compare them. I really need something to correct the toe in on my FR-S since putting new rear wheels on with an adjustable lower control arm. It's making the car feel disconnected in the rear, to the point that while driving straight the rear of the car feels like its wandering while the front tracks perfectly straight...very unnerving feeling.

I think beside GT SPEC, there are Hardrace and STI. STI ones are not adjustable so you might want to consider hardrace. The toe link off the FRS is same as the WRX so you can check it out from their site.
I used to run Full Hardrace bushings in my ITR and have sold quite a few off toe arms to WRXs, so far working great with no issues. |

GTSPEC, SPC, Whiteline, DME. The GTSPEC ones are good quality.

Is there not enough adjustment in the oem links when you increased the camber, or do you just want something easier to adjust? I'm looking to get the adjustable lower control arms, but it would be good to know if I should order toe links at the same time.

The OEM toe link is a solid rod, so no absolutely no adjustment possible. I'm running about 2 degrees of camber at the moment in the rear which seems to equate to about 2 degrees of toe in maybe a little less, but its obvious to the naked eye. So if you have to run negative camber you will probably have to get the toe links to even things out.

The link itself is solid, but it is attached with an adjustable cam bolt to allow toe adjustment. Just loosen the nut shown then turn the bolt. There are degradations on the washer, but they are not very helpful.

Ah ok thanks! I'll use that until I get my links in. Dont think it will give me enough toe out to counter my current setup but it will definitely help with the wear.

Grodenglaive you are a life saver, the stock eccentric gave me just enough to dial out all the toe and now my car handles better than it did stock, as in way more responsive, better feel, and the suspension telegraphs what the tires are actually doing back there.
Once again thanks so much. |

I just got an alignment done with a 1.5" drop in the rear and the Cusco rear arms. We had to set the camber to at least -1.25 degrees to have enough OEM toe adjustment to get the car to just a little bit of toe in. If you try and lessen the camber anymore you run out of toe adjustment, but running more camber should leave you with plenty of OEM toe adjustment. I had the same feeling you had when I first installed the arms with WAY WAY WAY too much toe out in the rear.
