Installed the BMR Toe Links (TR005) Sunday afternoon along with the Steeda Rear Camber Arms (555-4123), both adjustable. Already posted this in my "Build Sheet," but figured I'd post it here as well to give customer feedback for future buyers.
Both were a pretty straight forward install, although I must say the Camber Arms was a tedious install. There's no room for a ratchet when getting to the inner mount bolts of the arms, so I was turning maybe 1/8th of an inch every turn of that with a wrench. The passenger side has enough room for a ratchet though, so that was a breeze. "Install Tip": dab a little grease on the lockout tabs, otherwise they'll just keep falling out of the hole when trying to slide the bolt though. Per the instructions of Steeda, you have to install the bolts reverse of how you pulled them out? I didn't see why, so I just put them in the way I took em out. The BMR toe links were a straight forward install, didn't run into any problems there.
At first, I was hesitant about ordering the Steeda Camber Arms -- I'm the type of person to just stick with one brand, as they work better in sync when all from the same company. The adjustability range is what sold me on the product. But I must say, I'm in love with the beefyness of the Steeda Camber Arms. They certainly are a sight for sore eyes, I also wish they came in red to match all the BMR parts. But I couldn't be any happier nonetheless on the purchase. The BMR toe links are also a beauty, but what more can you expect from BMR! :cheers: Here's some photos comparing them to the OEM ones, wish I could've remembered to weigh them to see if there's a difference.
Pictures of them installed on the car, I adjusted it the best I could by eye. You'll see how I did on the alignment sheet at the bottom haha
Here are the final alignment specs, running the stock 18x8" wheels with 235/30 PZero tires -- figured I'd wait on the Enkei RPF1s for the time being and purchase the Corsa Extreme exhaust this summer or spring. I'll replace the stock Perelli's with 255/45 NT555 when the tread starts wearing down more. But for the time being, all the suspension components are done in my build aside from IRS bushings that'll come later down the road.
Here's what's on the car for suspension wise so far:
