Default FS: Megan Rear Toe Link

I'm selling my Megan Toe Link (IS300) that were used on my 2GS. I bought it about 2 months ago but due to my car being too low for my taste, I raised it back up to the point where the stock arms were sufficient enough to correct toe. Only thing is that the cosmetics are not perfect because the alignment guy had to use a wrench to adjust the link so that's expected. Other than that, the arms perform like they should.

I prefer local buyers so the arms can be checked out in person, but I'm willing to ship it. Looking to get $100 LOCAL (Westminster, 92683) or $110 shipped (lower 48).

I can provide vouches if needed. Thanks!

EDIT: new price

Will this help with my camber wear?
What else will I need to prevent camber wear?

What is your current alignment spec? Toe is the biggest contributor to tire wear so you can have -2.5 degree with 0 toe and it'll wear out your tires less than having -1.5 degree camber and 0.60 degree toe in.

If you are not able to get your rear toe within a respectable level, then these toe arms will correct that for you. The stock toe cams don't allow that much adjustment. How fast are you chewing up your rear tires?

I didn't adjust anything, just lowered my car about 2.5 inches.
I'm driving about 70+ miles a day.
I got new tires about 2 months ago and can already see the inner part is almost flat
I am about to rotate the tires (not wheels) so i can even the wear on the other side that is still brand new....

You've never gotten an alignment? The toe is definitely killing your tires. There is no reason why your tires should be wearing out within 2 months in short of having no alignment done.

actually my rear isn't bad, my front is what's killing me...
I'll get this but first I have to figure out what to do with my fronts..
Do I need that little ball thing or the adjustable a-arms, or both?

Well without knowing your current alignment specs, it's hard to tell what's going on in the front. It could truly be camber, but most likely it's the toe. Camber does not wear out your inner part of the tires in 2 months. It'll just wear on one side more than the other, but incorrect toe actually scrubs your tire against the ground. Tire wants to go one way but its being forced to go a different direction. The front should have more than enough adjustment to compensate for 2.5" drop. No need to get a-arms. The SPC upper balljoint should be good enough. I believe they correct an additional 1.5 degree which is quite a bit.

I've been there for a few years, but I don't have enough post to make a FS thread.
