Don't buy Godspeed Toe Arms
Yeah, i know some of you will yell at me saying "ebay brand blah blah blah". THe problem is that there are no good offerings for aftermarket toe arms on our platform, and after experiencing issues with keeping my toe arm attached to the sub frame at the track last weekend, i got desperate. Also, these were the lightest "looking" toe arms on the market with a solid spherical bushing (no rubbers!). Now my only other choice is megan.
Why you shouldn't buy godspeed toe arms:
1. It won't even fit into the ****ing subframe tabs.
2. It dramatically changes rear bump-toe geometry (no idea if for the better or worse). Godspeed ball joint is over 1/4 inch shorter.
3. I'm pretty sure these are made for the 8/9, and they're like meh it can fit the X, when it obviously doesn't. Arms are advertised to fit evo 7-10.
3. Visually, they're pretty meh. I just NEED something adjustable because this eccentric bull**** is killing me.
4. Each arm weighs 3 lbs. Stock arms weigh 2.2 lbs.
5. NRG is the only company to make aluminum toe arms for our platform, but they have a rubber bushing. I spoke to them and they said they plan to release a new arm with pillowball bushings in ~ 3 months. These arms also have an adjustable ball joint so you can customize and perfect your bump-toe geometry to your liking. But i want arms now, not 3 months from now. I haven't contacted the company yet to tell them that their products don't fit, but i will be today. I'll keep everyone updated.

Just get the ones made by whiteline i have them and they work great! Although it is the lower bar but it provides camber and toe adjustments. I think megan racing also makes one for that specific piece as well though. http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_..._number=KTA135
