Exclamation Tom's Racing Lower arm strengthening plate / upper arm support bracket

This may have been posted before, but here's the transations

Lower arm strengthening plate

The steel make plate which reinforces the rear lower arm. Rigidity of the arm itself is made to raise markedly, the running which is extreme the chassis which is not defeated to high load is made to complete. From, linear running bodily sensation is possible.



Upper arm support bracket

The bracket which installs the rear upper arm is reinforced, installation rigidity of the upper arm improves. The wasteful movement with rigid insufficiency is regulated, the sharp movement is actualized.

Steve,

Do either of these require you to have other Tom's suspension parts in place to fit (like Tom's Advox coilovers)?

I will say under normal or even slightly spirited driving conditions, it won't help at all. But for those that track often or drive very hard, this is additional re-inforcement which would be recommended. Therefore, I am interested.

It says right there in the first post:

The steel make plate which reinforces the rear lower arm. Rigidity of the arm itself is made to raise markedly, the running which is extreme the chassis which is not defeated to high load is made to complete. From, linear running bodily sensation is possible.
...
The bracket which installs the rear upper arm is reinforced, installation rigidity of the upper arm improves. The wasteful movement with rigid insufficiency is regulated, the sharp movement is actualized.
Isn't that perfectly clear to everyone?

I talked to some local Tom's part experts and they told me thatr this kit has been developed for the Aristo TT.
The Aristo TT has some features that do not exist on GS and one of it is some kind of an active rear steering feature. No every one likes this feature and basically, this Tom's part is trying cancel the active steering function.

They also said this part is useless on GS.
