Hey, I was just wondering why the PBM toe rods are bent. . .

If you compare it to other toe rods, the other ones are straight.

Am I able to install it right away, or will I need to do something to get them on?

So if anyone might know why it's designed like that, help would be greatly appreciated on the subject. Thanks.

They're bent because some toe rods hit the subframe mounting points on super low cars.

PBM is all about cool little knick-nacks, awesome drift parts and being LOW.

^^That
They have that 45 degree bend so that they don''t hit the subframe collars on lowered cars. They install just like any other ones. I need some with a bend, my subframe collar is all EFfed

Exactly that!^^^^ I have these on my car, also on a car i put together for a friend. They are amazing, very beefy and greatly designed. I can really feel the difference between these and the temporary Circuit sports ones i had.

So get them as long as your car is lower than stock, then you know you can go low low without being dumb about it.

Would they be okay on lowered springs? I wanna get some, but I'm not running coils, yet. ;)

They'll be okay on any car, it's just a sweet feature that's dandy when your car get super low.
