probably the parts I sent to him. If I recall I think these will work with IS300, ISx50, 2genGS, & 3gen GS

There is no word to describe his work

Default Added FIGS toe links to rear with mega arms

So to fully correct your rear camber, FIGS makes the rear lower control arms, aka Mega Arms, like i mentioned earlier in this thread, but you also need the toe links. I got the FIGS toe links and installed them this weekend. Here are a few shots..
This is the toe bar I replaced. Mounted on the wheel knuckle and to the chassis.

The bolt on the knuckle is a pain to take off. Actually the nut on the bottom is easy to take off, its popping the toe link end out of the knuckle which is hard.

That's why you use this tool. You can get it at your local auto part store (Autozone). They have a tool loan program where you can borrow it to use.

Once removed, here are the two toe links side by side.

Here is a shot installed. Notice the toe link end does NOT sit flush on the knuckle. This is normal (Confirmed with Mike at FIGS). Please do not wrench down to get it flush. About 20lbs torque on the bottom nut is necessary.

The finished product.


After the install, took the car to the alignment shop. The adjustments were a pain and we had to jack up the car while on the alignment rack to relieve the load on the Mega arms to adjust eccentric bolt for the camber, but after everything was done, the car's rear suspension is at factory specs.

I just installed my Figs mega arms and toe links yesterday. Great products! Easy to install and I'm aligned to factory specs. I highly recommend these if you want to save your tires.

FIGS offers a lower control arm (see my pics in earlier part of this thread) and the toe links to correct/add camber. Megan's solution is two camber bars and a toe bar.

The two toe bars work the same way, thread in and out for more and less toe. FIGS has two adjustment points on his lower control arm. One is near the body and the other is an eccentric bolt (which bolts to the bottom of the wheel knuckle). Once the adjustment near the body is set, the eccentric bolt can pull in the bottom of the wheel knuckle to bring your wheel within proper camber specs. Of course if you want to add camber, the bolt near the body can be adjusted to add more camber.

If you check out the lower control arm, it will make more sense.
