rear toe rods required when slammed?

Post by **casman86** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 11:41 am

Is there enough toe adjustment on the eccentric bolt on the factory toe rods to compensate for the toe-in when slammed on an s14? I obviously have a lot of toe-in on my s14 after putting the coilovers on, and I would prefer to use the stock rods if possible. Let me know. Thanks.

youre gonna have to pick some up, theyre pretty cheap. ive got megan adjustable toe rods in the back and it fixed my toe problems after the coilovers.

Well, today I slotted the holes on my stock toe rods to bring the toe back into the adjustability range. I slotted the holes 3/16in. and it looks pretty good. I guess I'll know once I bring it to get aligned if it really worked, but eyeballing it there is a world of difference. If it doesn't work I'll just order some toe rods.

i got a s13 but the second i put the kts' on i couldn t get toe in. i'm about .20 outa spec fully adjusted. I got some new rims/tires looks like i'm investing in some aftermarket toe rods

These guys are indeed correct. To have enough adjustability to set proper toe, you will need aftermarket toe arms. I would personally buy SPL.

Oh, and I moved your thread to the correct forum.

Unsafe? They are factory. Chinese aluminum suspension arms with cheap pillowball ends are unsafe. Those actually do break.This is awesome if I managed to slot it the correct amount.

SPL is NOT chinese made crap parts. Their probably the best suspension arms available right now.
