Control arms and traction rods for lowered ls430
Hi, I'm planning to install Megans Rear Control Arms and Traction Rods for my 02 Ls430 on Air Sus.,
I wanted to know if this is the way to go, and do I need both parts? Or just the Rear Control arms is all I need? I want to install the megan Rear Camber kit as well, but place i bought it from is on back order. So if anyone is familiar with this set up . Please let me know if I'm doing the right thing?
BTW. I usually drive pretty low, and hoping this setup will help with premature tire wear and toe's pointing outwards correction.
thanks

The toe pointing outwards (called positive toe) can be adjusted by the factory wobble nut - no need to buy anything.
The Megan adjustable control arms adjust the camber in the rear. Not sure if you know this, as you mentioned you were buying control arms but then mentioned separately that you were getting a rear camber kit as well.
The Megan adjustable traction rod is to adjust for bumpsteer, but ultimately what we buy it for is so that we can center the wheel in the wheel well. By lowering the car, the wheel has moved forward in the wheel well. Looking at the wheel well for reference, alot of people rub at the 9 o'clock position. If you arent slammed or running aggressive setup, you wont need the adjustable traction rods.
You can get both Megan Traction rods and Lower control arms from Ebay. I bought mine from a seller in CA, had it at my door in 3 days.
