not sure what "this" denotes.
Arms come as a pair, one for driver, one for passenger. therefore, if you get the toe rods, you would get 2 toe rods. same goes w/ traction rods. If you're getting the steering rack bushings, i believe you get 4, 2 to replace each bushing. For subframe bushings, you get 8, again, 2 to replace each bushing.

Yea I figures as much. The second link I provided in my last post looked like two traction rods on 1 side. I couldn't enlarge the picture in my work computer.

the steering knuckle was cut over 2 years ago. no problems and i'd say best mod by far.
traction bar and toe bar also great mods. got my car to sit still and very comfortable during drifts. made the car feel really stable in turns also.
Could you explain a little more on the steering knuckle cut?

Wonder if Alex will ever make tie rod ends as well.. Hate the fact that I have the BV toe and tractions rods and Megan tie rods.. tacky..

i kinda remember him saying he preferred stock > aftermarket tie rods just b/c of the build quality. he may have been talking about something else though. or maybe my mind's conjuring up some random thoughts.

and as for the knuckles, he shortens the portion of the knuckle where the tie rod attaches to, giving it more steering angle. If I'm thinking about this right, the amount you turn the steering wheel won't change, so the steering will become just a bit more sensitive

On another note, I installed his subframe mounts, toe rods, and traction rods onto my car. Then he shortened my lca, corner balanced my car, and aligned it for me. I have no complaints, he knows exactly what he's doing. Though, the streets around him are pretty dang hellish.
