Well right off the bat I will just say pay attention to where the adjustment is. Its on the inside. This means when you change anything the shock mount and the sway mount get pulled inward and can potentially bind. Especially on the shock since it has a low perch.

My arms add an outer eccentric in addition to a movable shock mount and sway endlink mount option.

Also, they continue to use a cheap welded rod end, the weakest you can buy. All our rod ends are single piece forged because we have seen issues with stress at this location. We have also observed this weld to break on the Megan toe links, so why trust it here?

We have learned a lot over the 8 years we have been testing and refining out products and it does not come without some hard lessons. I just hope that anyone who buys these will consider the risks along with the benefits.

EDIT Lastly, they list this one application for everything and that is just WRONG. We have 3 different toolings for three major application breaks of IS, Gen2GS and Gen2 IS/ 3 GS. So there will be some pissed people out there. I guess they just add spacers for the other applications and call it a day.

This does not come with toe links. Figs makes some toe links that are made better than the Megan ones for the same price.

The link you posted is for some upper camber arms. This thread is for lower control arms.
