While looking for install notes I read somewhere here that performance pack cars already had better toe link bushings and misinterpreted it as referring to the knuckle to toe bearing since that was the topic of the thread. Be my best guess how I got the wrong idea anyhow.
i see too why you got confused l,the pp car is the same toe link as the FR handling package. But not the knuckle bearing. You have to buy them separately. And im skipping it just bec of the install. I heard its a pain to remove lol

I'm running Steeda progressives with Ford racing shocks and struts. No complaints, lots of mountain driving.
Thank you for your feedback, Jeremy!

Have a great night.

It will be fine. The benefit of the toe-knuckle bearing is for cornering consistency. But also consider that besides the springs/shocks/bar, that is the only other IRS component Ford Performance decided to include in their track kit. They chose that joint for a reason.

It depends on how much you care about it and want it to feel/handle just right. But it will be fine without it. Not world-changing but it is a nice piece to upgrade - just my 2 cents.
just installed the FR struts/shocks and BMR handling springs(SP083) and BMR Adj toe link.

my current set up with my pp GT is
BMR: K-member Brace
BMR: CB005R cradle lockout
BMR: CB762R subframe support brace
BMR: Performance Springs
BMR: front rear sway bars
Whiteline: endlinks
Steeda: Alignment kit.
SR: Vertical Links

This car is daily and mostly gna see spiritted canyon driving. Maybe track once a year. My last question is prolly alignment set up. The problem i have is most people run sauare set up with 19 inch wheels. I have 20 inch project 6GR staggered wheel 275 front and 315 rears. I dont see much people having 20 inch rims that runs a roadcourse. Anybody knows someone that do? So i can ask for a decemt alignment set up?
