Will these work?

Camber is killing my rear tires. These look like a good, inexpensive solution. I've used the search button countless times on this and other forums. I've read that they will fit and that they won't fit. I've looked at pictures and tried comparing them to the stock arms. The only difference seems to be the end links. I hope somebody here can help me out. Thank ya.

I wouldnt trust them..me personally, when it comes to parts that if they were to fail, could result in my death or someone else dying, avoid them..not to mention the sellers feedback rating isnt all that great (I dont buy from anyone with less than 99.5% +).
There are other camber kits available that have been proven, keep searching

They look well made and price is a bargain compared to stock.

before ordering, I would post that link on Supraforums.com and see if anyone has first hand experience with them. Looks can be very deceiving, and just cause it looks good doesn't mean that after a few bumps it wont break at one of the welds and cause your car to slide into oncoming traffic cause you loose your entire front hub assembly...or worse, off of a bridge.
get feedback, do more research, dont get it just cause it looks like its good quality.

As far as quality.. they are TC Sportlines, I'm not too familiar with the company, but I do know they make a bunch of stuff that a lot of people buy...
EDIT: After a quick look at TS Sportline's site, they do not list any Toyota products in the Arms & Rods section. Unless their site isn't up to date, then the ones on ebay are knock-offs.... of knock-offs???

Like with ANY aftermarket components, inspect prior to installing and research manufacturer feedback. Saying that I welcome aftermarket offerings into our cars and rather have people riding with proper wheel alignment and safe road handling than worry about potential weld crack.

I don't have an account on the supra forums. On my to do list. I'm cheap and impatient so I just bought the arms. I get 7 days to send them back if they don't work. I know more than enough about welding so I'll be able to spot a poor weld if there is one. They look sturdy enough for my driving. I'll letcha know how it goes. Wish me luck.

there was a guy on this forum that bought from adjustable arms off ebay. had one of them fail and the wheel laid over on its side in the middle of the street.
best of luck because being cheap and impatient gets you a fast ticket to the grave...
if you have experience in welding why dont you buy a set of stock lower control arms for cheap, cut out about an inch out of it and reweld it. its steel and if properly welded will be a safer alternative to a completely new engineered arm. to be honest i dont know how much actual engineering goes into these ebay products. my gut says they have a goal of making a product and go about making it to fit. no much testing goes into them. if there was they would advertise it. after all safety testing is a selling point. what kind of company wouldnt mention it. everyone that does testing talk about it. the one that dont test dont talk about it.
when you get it im sure it will also come with instructions and a notice saying its a racing part made for off highway purposes and carries no warranty.
as i said earlier...good luck

If possible when you receive them, can you please take up close pictures of each side and the the welds?

In addition I made unverified assumption that risk of driving improperly aligned/handling car, that many of people here drive are greater than potential weld failures.
Now, as far as parts in question go. I like caution calls, sound prudent. I do not like knocking down product without first hand knowledge. Have you seen it? Installed it? Known problems maybe? Guess not, lets people check it out then. Fair?

No, you were talking about safety. I pointed out that you are not necessary a safety champion yourself. I thought I made myself clear.

I was simply stating that just cause the item posted looks good, doesnt mean it is..go back and read before you start slinging personal insults and judging..read your own comment that has been underlined before you try coming up with a come back, learn your place and keep your face in the dog bowl, cause you haven't graduated to the table yet.
