BMR Toe rods or ZL1/1LE
Hey guys,
So I've installed upgraded trailing arms and subframe bushings, but I still have some rear end wiggle with just regular bolt-ons. I'd like to upgrade my toe rods, but I'm having a hard time deciding which to go with, either the BMR non-adjustables, or the ZL1/1LE. I can find the BMRs for about $100, but I'm having a hard time finding the ZL1/1LEs for anything less than $150. I know the ZL1 rods are spherical, but is that worth another $50? Will I regret going with the BMRs? Car is mainly a DD... Thanks!

For a DD, you want to stay with the OEM arms. OEM arms are designed to fold, they are sacrificial. If you get loose and kiss a curb on a rainy day, the arm bends to protect the sub=-frame. Install a tubular arm and the sub-frame brackets are the weak point. Replacing a toe link is cheap. Replacing a sub-frame $$$$$
Get a set of 1LE/ZL1/Z/28 toe links and a set of Z/28 trailing arms. |

I've got the Z28 trailing arms already, so it looks like the 1LE/ZL1/Z28 links are what I need then.
Thanks Pete!

It's a DD with bolt-ons...370 to the wheels I'm guessing. Once I get back to the mainland I plan on getting 3.91s and upgrading from 275 to 295 rear tires.
