Hate to jack a members threat, but Megan just released three rear arms for the UCF30, Adjustable rear toe arm, Adjustable rear camber arm, and Adjustable rear Traction arm.

Will, what have you done body-wise to fit what you're putting on? I have 9 1/2 and 10 1/2 and when the UL 60mph hit I ate up a tire a little....lemme know man. I think I need to do camber on it and shave/roll or even pull. Might wait until I get up to NY and take it to the Dream Maker Liberty uses...

What are your offsets?

I've got a slight roll in the rear and shaved fenders in the front. When my new wheels come in, I will need a pull front/rear.

I got to look at a set of the Megan parts today. They looked good. But looks are not everything. I know who bought the set so Ill check with him after its installed and he puts some miles on it and report back.

sorry guys, I know I have been neglecting the LS crowd. Just hard to stay on top of other orders and get new stuff ramped up. I will post progress when I can. The plan is to send some toe links out for testing, I think I can do this next week. Then release both at once.

Default Toe Adjustment Links

I received some toe adjustment links from FIGS for the LS430. They are great quality, fit beautifully, and most of all made it so i was able to get my toe within spec after my i adjusted my camber with my adjustable arms.
They were rather simple to install.
after the installation i aligned the vehicle, and since i am not such a big VIP fan i adjusted my camber on my adjustable camber arm to -0.9 degrees on both sides, then adjusted the toe to +0.18 degrees on each side.
current cross camber is 0 degrees
and total toe is 0.36 degrees.
these are Great arms. anyone buying adjustable camber arms should buy the toe arms also.
Figs did a great job with these

It looks like we can get some things rolling pretty soon. The toe links are based on spacers I had already made for the rear camber link. I got tabs this week and planning on starting the jigs for production. Toe links will be consistent with my current options for the GS and IS on my site.
