Default Rear Toe Arms - Stock vs Aftermarket

I’ve been looking into replacing my rear toe arms for my AP2 and I’ve been looking at aftermarket rear toe arms.

I found these:
EVS Tuning Rear Bumpsteer Kit - Honda S2000 00+ AP1 / AP2 | Evasive Motorsports

But my AP2 isn’t lowered and I don’t plan to anytime soon. Would anyone know how much a stock rear toe bar go for?

I currently have aftermarket ones but one my rear left needs to be replaced

I think this is the stock part right?

I assume your car previously lowered if there at aftermarket ones on there already. I don't think the EVS ones would be an issue but it looks like OEM parts may cost a bit less.

The j's racing rear toe rod seems to be very good quality - they use arora joints which are some of the best in the industry.

Spoon Sports toe arms are stainless steel and are stronger than those aluminum ones on the market. They are the most expensive too.

I have the hard-race ones and they seem solid/good quality?

I wouldn't use a raised ball joint toe arm (aftermarket) unless there was a REALLY good reason to do so.

You're putting extra load into the spindle and ball joint for no reason.

Just buy factory Honda arms. Buy low mile used ones if you're looking for an inexpensive fix.

yea if your not planning on modding and wanting more adjustment, just get used oem ones, a ton of threads ive read said all aftermarket ones are prone to breaking regardless the brand. Even the OEM ones have quiet a bit of adjustment available should you decide to lower your car.
