Rear Strut Rod Suggestions

[HKS_TRD]

I'm looking at changing my rearm strut rods, so far changed the camber and toe control arms.

Not sure on A-1 or LIPP, any other options out there?

where did you get your camber/toe arms? how much and where plz thanks.

I got the arms from Yahoo Japan auctions. I honestly cant remember how much they were. I think RHD Japan sell similar ones (Yanack) though mine may actually be the same brand as they look identical.

For the Rear Traction Arms ,A1s does not have any known to me fitment issues ,given their weight and adjustability I don't see any reason to spend 2x more for some old school LIPP products :)

So the A1 traction rod is adjustable? I didnt expect, or see any reason for it being adjustable

Well for some there might not be any benefit ,but for me there are at least 2:

1.For On-The-Track alignments I found that adjusting the Toe via the "Toe Control Rod" is problematic (due to poor Toyota design on the Bolts) and is nowhere near as precise compared to dialing the desired toe with preset combinations of the (TRACTION ROD ) and the (Rear, Camber Rod). Everyone that is serious for AutoX-ing the car and doing TimeAttacks (or event track days) should have at least 2 settings for their toe. I use something close to Lance settings for the track and different ones for different AutoX events...

2. I do all of the alignments mySelf ,I don't have Hunter in my shop thus I'm not super experienced with alligning cars but MK3 rear suspension is one hell of a setup ,you move one rod and every single parameter changes sometimes with no apperant logic. Using the adjastability of the traction Rod was always a big help for me.


Now if one is super crazy (like me) you could actually adjust the wheelBase with the traction rod. Here is a pic of my car running the shortest possible wheelbase (crazy rear caster) + some aggressive ToeIn :icon_wink
