Recommendations on rear toe arms
Hi all. Part of my track-mods package I'm doing will require adjustable rear toe arms to get the rear end back in spec at the car's new ride height. I'd love some user experiences of which arms you find best or have used. Previously I've had a few different types on different cars and personally my favourites were adjustable hard rubber bushed ones as it eliminates the concern over short rose joint life. I worry about seizure resulting in snapping of the arm. Anyone aware of any of these in existence for the S2000?
I'm quite tempted to cut and lengthen/shorten the stock arms once I know the required amount to be honest.

Would not be hard to make oem adjustable & welding a thread adjuster in place.
Have thought about that also so avoid premature wear with non oem

Don't think I've seen adjustable ones with rubber bushings.
If you got a pre-facelift car it might be good to go aftermarket because of better toe curve as well.
I got Hardrace ones on mine and they seem to be of very good quality with rubber boots for added protection, decently priced as well so I can recommend them.

Be very careful with adjustable suspension components. LHT posted a video on their facebook the other day showing adjustable upper ball joints that had failed and were only being held together by the weight of the wheel resting on the arm. I had rear bumpsteer kit on my car but i was never really convinced by it and when you are chucking it around track at 120mph you really dont want to suffer a suspension failure because of a cheap part with very little engineering gone in to it. Some that i have seen are a bush welded onto a threaded bar. I want to at least know that the weld isnt crap! I replaced mine with brand new OEM items and i was more than happy. Aslong as you arent lowering the car by a huge amount you can get away with most parts of the OEMs adjustable suspension.

Yes there are some really crappy stuff out there and also lots of installs that are not setup correctly.

I've had Hardrace on mine for years, stored outside. Never had any issues.

1st try was with Megan Racing arms - lasted around a month before rose joint working loose with audible knocking.
Replaced them with J's Racing ones which worked perfectly for as long as I kept the car, even sold them on later with no issues reported back.
I've had J's Racing again on my 2nd S2k, but this time they didn't have the rose joints greased and wrapped in grease-impregnated tape (common brand name 'Denso'). I'm sure this is why they have only lasted about 10k miles and are now loose. The error in the toe is about half a degree as a result.
The J's Racing are quite expensive, so I've now bought Hard Race ones based on the number of people who've used them and reported no issues, including Daytona (Ray).
