Rear Toe Advice - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

wootwoot · 05-26-2013, 03:14 AM

I plan on installing ground-control coilovers and dropping the car an inch at the MOST. I am hoping to get about -1.5 camber in the rear using the whiteline upper control arm bushings. I am not sure how to adjust the toe, however. I know there is an eccentric bolt on the stock toe arm, but will there be enough adjustment to get my toe back to zero with my marginal drop? Or should I get an adjustable toe arm? Would it be wise to install the powerflex toe arm bushing? And does it provide additional adjustment?

Thanks guys!

Don't want to sidetrack your thread, but how did you end up with the ground control setup? ( did you do the basic street or the whole package with camber plates and such)? I am looking at GC and a few other options and am interest in why you made the choice. Sorry I can't help you with your alignment problem

you will have plenty of toe adjustment with the OEM arm.

What other systems are you looking at?

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll just put in the powerflex toe bushing and call it a day.

you'll be fine with the stock toe adjustment range, i'm 1.4 inches lower and there was enough range to get back in spec.

Mine was lowered just 30mm with Cusco lower arms and I ran out of toe adjustment on one side of the car. The toe changes remarkably over that much drop. See how it aligns and add the toe arms later if needed.

I just put in a set of springs and LCA's. just about an inch drop. I couldn't get the passenger side toe set with factory toe adjustment. Looking to get the SPC toe link or may install their toe bushing.
