I need to get a camber toe adjust kit for the rear of my 240 (1995). I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what brand and where to buy. I have seen a couple on ebay but wasn't sure of the quality. Any feed back or suggestions would be appreciated.

Well camber and toe are two different measurements entirely. If you have lowered your car and can no longer get it withing manufacturer specs in the rear, i would suggest getting some adjustable rear upper control arms (RUCAs). A lot of people will tell you to get SPL, they are excellent quality for the price. Me, im a ricer i guess, because i have the much more expensive JIC Magic ones. But a lot of people make them (Tanabe, Cusco, Silk Road, Kazama (sp?), Tein, you name it). These will allow for a huge change in camber in the rear. Once your camber is back within spec, i will be you will be able to set your rear toe to spec once again. If not, the above mentioned companies also sell rear toe adjustment arms. Usually a LOT more expensive than the RUCAs, they will definately be able to return your toe to spec.

I was actually thinking about the spl's on ebay. He sells the camber and toe kit for the rear together, yes I know they are two different pices, I just wasn't sure of the quality.

Yea, there's ppl who have had bad luck w/ ebay arms...

however, I guess I lucked out?? Front tension rods rusted... gross, replaced.

Rear upper camber arms & rear toe rods, lasting for the past year and a half... thru hard driving, autox, rallyx ("off road"), etc, etc, etc... still great *knock on wood*. I'm still gonna upgrade to beefier arms later.

I went with battle version arms. Easy swap. You can also get offset bushings for the upper arm to press in. Cheaper but more difficult to install.

I haven't found any problem with the Motoria's (one of the brands you'd find on ebay). I've also seen JIC, Kazama and Cusco. JIC's aren't as well built as the Kazama and Cusco. I've been told Kazama and Cusco come out of the same factory but who knows. The Kazama's I'm using are very tough and very similar in construction as the cuscos just sans the cool blue color. Just when the coating gets scuffed on em, expect some rust.
