curious about the LBJ on the hysteer... will it be an upgrade to oem? I don't know much about it at all. I just know that all parts sold from lexus are the updated version. Just curious to know what brand/design you will be using for the 2gs version.

Hey alignment gurus! I have a pretty bad problem with inner toe wear on my rear left tire. I'm lowered on BC racing coilovers to about 2 fingers all around on stock 17's. Okay, my question is which adjustable rear toe links would you recommend for my situation since there are a few options. I want to go ahead and buy these so i don't have any future wear with my new tires.
Edit: Definately want the motorsport version. How much shipped to 92008? Thanks alot

Another benefit of these links is that you maximize the length of the linkage. This reduces the amount of rear bump steer and creates a more stable tracking rear end. Something often overlooked when lowering is how the suspension behaves while driving. Its not about static alignment, its about dynamic cycle alignment. The toe arc is started to get pretty steep when dropped more than an inch, so every increment upward means its also moving inward...steering in.
anyone know the proper way to adjust this? I installed it a couple of weeks ago and went to the alignment shop. I'm not sure if they are taking advantage of the trac links adjustability.
the adjustable toe arm and mega arm fixed all of the other issues.

Trac link adjustment is for fine tuning camber for handling, without inpacting toe. And also for repacing the rubber bushing with the spherical. Its just the last part of firming up the rear end, but adjustment is not necessary to get any benefit. Its more about keeping the rear end located better and responsing better to inputs.

Well I would again like to clarify that there is not such thing as a rear RCA for this platform. What companies are calling a rear RCA is no more than a heavy offset spacer to push the shock lower. Its no different that ordering a shorter shock body, which I can also do with a BC coilover, for lower drops.
The toe link will mitigate bumpsteer and reduce tire wear, but as a bulk camber correction nothing beats the rear LCA first, toe link second. It of course depends on how low you want to be and what camber spec you want to run.

So would the lca and toe links allow me to do this? would it work better with the rca, or should I just eliminate the rca's completely?
thanks
