Just picked up a set of these. It replaces the weak stock pieces in the rear. Has teflon lined high strength ball joints, is adjustable, and has a nice powercoat blue metallic color
. Keeps the rearend flex down when you launch the car hard and have a lot of power. I'll be installing them on the car tomorrow and posting up a DIY and review ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

These aren't the toe arms, it's a different part. I guess you could call it the rear caster arm if theres even such a thing? I'll have the toe arms soon though. I'm the guinea pig, and I'm sure you guys know I'll be putting the parts through some real testing

Because of the joint setup, you will/should definitely notice that it is more stiff and will probably get more "rattle" because this is a solid joint. Unlike the stock setup which uses a rubber bushing to help absorb jolts. The car should ride like a sled.
I had ridden and drove a car with mostly helm joints at the suspension points and it felt like it had zero suspension. But then again, it was a race car.
