If your alignment is "good" as you read this, then I recommend that you go out to your S550 and mark the positions of the OE Toe Rods/Links.
If you have BMR, and only BMR Toe Rods installed - don't worry about it!
During early development with the S550 Platform, we noticed reoccurring toe alignment issues. This is why one of the very first parts we developed was our TR005 Toe Rods. Instead of just making a cool looking adjustable piece, that really serves NO purpose - we developed our kit to feature HD Steel Zinc Coated eccentric bolt lock-out plates. Due to that reason of course, is why the quickest and fastest drag strip and handling S550's are already using our product.
Here is a shot of our test car early on, that had experienced toe slip with the OE Toe Links. This car was abused hard on Mickey Thompson Drag Radials, and never saw the track before experiencing it.
Here is a shot of the Lock Out plates that come standard with the BMR TR005 Toe Rods.
On that note, here is an example of an M6G member that recently contacted me about his alignment.
Notice the before driver side rear Toe, and the after.
His car was pulling before going in for an alignment, and you can see why. :doh:
Moral of the story, keep an eye on that rear toe! If you have issues, which generally occur from excessive wheel-hop and thrashing the car, it would be a great time to consider upgrading to the BMR-TR005 Toe Rods with lockout plates. At this time, I am fairly certain that we are the only company who offers this feature standard with our Adjustable Toe Rods. I am sure others who offer these parts will eventually catch-on, though.
*Also, people who use a stickier tire may experience this issue more than those without.
Happy Modding!
