Just wondering if these are even neccesary? I have my car lowered but I don't know how much (coilovers). I was gonna buy spl toe rods to go with my ruca's but I've read in a few places that people don't usually need them. Just figured I'd ask before I go and spend $233 on something I don't need.

Well I would say you don't need them unless the tierods on your car right now are bad. Butr when they do go bad they would be good replacements.

he said toe rods, not tie rods.

but as far as i know you should be fine with your stock toe rods unless you want to upgrade your multilink further. if you are just getting them to correct the alignment from lowering you shouldnt need new toe rods.

i got 1.0 degree toe in when i dropped my car. didn't really affect much, tire wear wasn't that drastic but noticeable. I got somewhat of a thrust angle trying to get the numbers even on each rear wheel so thats why i got aftermarket toe rods to eliminate that problem.
