Calling all ZLE track rats!
1.Are there any aftermarket pieces available that allow rear end alignment adjustment without have to replace the TTY bolts evettime?
2. Camber plates. Anything available for the front end with DSSV to allow larger camber settings dialed in? Looking for - 3.5 to - 4. I primarily track her on a very tight, lower corner speed curcuit. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. |

Yes on your first question. SPL Parts has high quality toe arms for the rear.
I thought that it was possible to get to -3.5 with the DSSV struts and OE camber plates. Are you also exploiting the camber at the strut to knuckle in addition to the camber plate max camber?

SPL rear toe arms and control arms eliminate the TTY fasteners & eccentrics...amazing pieces of engineering.

BMR makes great pieces. The down side is the heim ends need lubricated constantly or they squeak.

The SPL state they have a "teflon liner" to prevent squeak, can anyone attest to this? I have every BMR part minus the toe arm because I really don't want a squeaky car.

OP, like others have stated SPL is a great option for alignment without the TTY bolts.

I have run SPL on several cars since 2007, never any issue's with noise. They are stout and can handle lots of track abuse as well, I have gone 4 wheels in the air and also off track into the dirt a number of times without issue. I have even been hit in a t bone way to the rear end of one of my cars, a couple of the links bent but that was all for as hard of a hit i took. |

Just looking at their offerings. Do I need both the rear toe links and the rear upper arms? Or just the upper arm. I'm guessing both would be better to lockdown camber and toe, but at this point messing with rear camber is my priority.
Also, what does the 'lockout' option gain you? |

To lock the toe i think you just need the rear toe rods, lockout kit has square washers that lock in between the tabs. Then just use the turnbuckles to adjust toe
