Toe arms? I'm not even at that stage yet,unless you mean the rear lower arms?When do you think that your Rear Toe arms will be available?
Paul Volk's already put up another ad for those if you need them.When do you think that your Rear Toe arms will be available?

It's something I will do but it's not critical ATM, I used to run Paul's toe arms then I built my own similer with my rod ends in, I've actually still got Paul's arms in the garage still.Yes I was asking because Paul V has posted more for sale. If you were planning to make some then I would just wait.
Thanks Man.
I saw that also that's why i was asking.
Tires and wheels won't have anything to do with the arms, that's more of the knuckle and what can fit inside it's radiusI don't really have an specifics or major knowledge regarding this.. So i am interested in seeing others post.
All I know is i want something that can give me the adjustability I need while running 265-275 size tire on 18"x 9.0-10.0" wheel.
Also I will be apart of this GB as well.. keep me informed!
So what's your current ride height after you raised your car up? I measure from the seam seal under the car by the side skirts,Well, since I raised my car to fit the wider wheels/tires, I need more negative camber than I had before. I gained back 0.6 degrees. Keep in mind, I have Paul Volk's lower control arms which have helped me get more negative camber. If I had stock lower control arms, I'd need wayyy more adjustment to get me where I want to be. (Which is about to -3 degrees.) People who only drive their cars on the road will not need that much.
As for caster, I'll take as much as you can give. The more the merrier, but its not as important as max adjustable camber. 5 to 6 degrees will be good, but whats more important is getting the driver side to match the passenger side.
That's possibly correct yes, I believe he was going to run fender flares aswell if my memory is on pointHe's probably thinking about getting enough camber to just tuck into the fenders upon compression.
Wider than 9 inches will not fit with a simple tuck from camber.
As long as there is some adjustability in caster, i'll just give the driverside a bit more to match.
I've noted mine has a motion of around 1.5" , I wish I knew how to get an exact range, just baseing that from my gap between my fenders and I've had not fender rubbing , great way of testing I know hahaMy 800lb springs and RM swaybar don't seem to limit my travel much up front. I use all my compression and droop. Lol
But, I autocross. I can see where road racing might not need full travel as suspension tends to move slower.

I cannot quite picture how to do this, can you walk me through it a bit more please,You can put a ziptie around the shaft of the shock, put the suspension through some work, and see where the ziptie ends up.
You can wrap a ziptie on the shaft of the shock. In fact a ziptie is in case you have nothing else. We used to use rubber o-rings. When the suspension is at static height, the ziptie or O-ring is against the shock body. As the suspension goes through it's motions, the shock body pushes the O-ring or ziptie and when the shock rebounds, it leaves the O-ring at it's compressed height.I cannot quite picture how to do this, can you walk me through it a bit more please,
That makes sense now, thats a great idea, i shall try this out thanksYou can wrap a ziptie on the shaft of the shock. In fact a ziptie is in case you have nothing else. We used to use rubber o-rings.

I realize the bump stop could create an issue, and to be honest, I can't for the life of me remember what we did about that.
