For sure man, thanks... Matt said he'll PM me when he gets a chance, so i'm sure he will soon with all of the info I wanted to know...

If you are asking that question, then you really need to leave that work to the professionals. Adjusting a toe arm is not just the only thing that is done, but rather one piece of the ENTIRE suspension system and there is an order of what adjustments to make and in what order to properly setup a car. Screw up the toe setting and you could go for a scary ride.

Make an appt with a race shop to install them and then align and corner balance the car.

Agreed x2.... My shop sets up nothing but cup cars, flying lizrd car's and so on, hey turned my street moton setup around to a crazy track setup all within their knowledge of setting it up properly, I would not take the chance doing it myself!

Dell, after adding all of these components , do you need a new alignment/corner weight and balancing? I just got mine done :/

Absolutely. Anytime you remove/replace suspension components you have affected the geometry of the car and it needs to be "fine-tuned" once again.

I agree with you. When I do something with the suspension I always realige my car but I have no chnce to make balance. Only toe, camber, caster etc. I changed height this time and thatswhy I send my car to Germany for rebalance.

question is:

1. If I exchange toe links (adjustable/ no adjustable) have I got to make corner balance again or just geo without balancing?
2. maybe no adjustable are easier to use?
3, as for adjustable to bump, Dell do you always adjust toe link along with each change in your moton's bump?
