Default installed coilovers and battle version toe links and traction rods and it fishtails

Hey guys so I've had these two sets of Battle Version toe links and tractions rods and Bc Coilovers sitting in my room for the last couple of months and I got out and installed them this weekend.

Install went great on the Coilovers.

The battle version parts were not as easy. I installed them but incorrectly. I did not adjust them right and when I test drove it, it ran like **** jumping all over the place on the rear end.

Anybody have pictures of some properly mounted ones. This is going to be a daily driver so Idk if that helps.

It seemed easier in my head haha

both toe and traction rods can only be installed one way. One is a U bracket and spherical, the other is a ball joint and spherical. You sure that you measured them correctly before installing so they are the same length as the stock units AND got an alignment afterward? If not, that will be your point of failure and will need to be corrected as your alignment is most likely way out of spec.

Your alignment is off. Any changes to your suspension will require the car to be aligned. Even height adjustments on your coilovers, so get everything dialed in before you get it aligned.

Yep, alignment and especially rear alignment on these cars is super sensitive. It has to be right on. Get the coilovers where you want them and get a good alignment.
