Title: New rear toe arms? Toyota? Cost?
Post by: bluesmoke on February 8, 2017, 13:11
Are these dealer only? I'll have to replace them when the subframe comes out. I'm thinking a new set and then polybush all three rear arms as its a daily and I can't afford a subframe AND fancy arms at the minute!

Contact GT4-Play. He's got a set at the minute ready to go. Polybushed and freshly powdercoated

I only know this because I almost bought a full set of arms from him for a great price, but then Matt(Performance) put on a subframe+stock arms that I needed for a fraction of the price.
Ask him for the price he gave me, if he still has the bits. Then bite his arm off.

I need a subframe too but it's looking very much like I'm going to have to pay out for a brand new one  s:( :( s:(

Good thing it's not a total fortune (280ish from your local dealer) for a piece of kit that is essential and will last you another 15 years

Well it won't last me personally 15 years but I get you  s:D :D s:D

Are the ones MR2 Ben sells already treated and rust proofed? His are £328 and are black not silver....

Asked about the arms, bit much for me really without the toe arms. Wouldn't be too bad in isolation but alongside buying a subframe....  s:( :( s:(

Not forgetting to treat the sub frame with cavity protection of choice, will also extend it's life.
Dynax S50 was my choice for the inside and good ol fashioned smooth hammerite for the outside.
