SPL Toe Arms
The WHAT
SPL makes some of the best upgraded suspension I've ever seen. In this case, the rear toe arms on the SS 1LE are eccentric to adjust toe in and out. The SPL arms throws away the g0d d@mn movable suspension piece and TTY bolts (look it up) and replaces it with this *ta-da* The WHY The local Pep-boys did custom alignments for me, neat. They also didn't tighten the rear adjustment... so it was moving WHILE i was driving and shredding the lil tabs that hold the washer in the first place, not neat. Summary If you track your car, get these... otherwise pretend this thread never happened. *Pro tip... Vivid Racing is an SPL vendor, and offers % off from time to time

SPL = $368 @ vivid BMR = $269 For the $100 difference, get the better product.

So, for us hillbilly non-1LE guys, is this a worthwhile upgrade on a mostly street & 1/4 mile car? Or really just a track item?

So if saving every ounce possible and having the best of the best is worth it to you then SPL is worth the 500$ difference. IF not well save some money and buy BMR.. I personally LOVE SPL's stuff and at some point in time plan on using their full catalog.

BTW, the SPL parts are aluminum, not titanium, according to their website. Probably need to add a zero to the price tag for Ti... |

In addition to the advantages stated in the first post, this should also allow more range of adjustment for rear toe. That, in turn, should allow more rear negative camber without toe-in. If this mod were allowed in the class I compete in (autocross), it would probably the first mod I would do.
