Any of you folks out there with competition trailing arms and toe links, I would totally appreciate it if you could take a few quick measurements and/or pictures. I have a friend who is the fabricator/mechanic for a race team, that will make me any parts I need. I'm going to have him make the TA and TL and also a torque brace. I just need to tell him what length/diameter to make them. Thanks in advance.

Get under your car and measure yourself. :-) J/K. I would like to know as well for the same purpose, making my own, but after reading that they may cause unusual handling problems at high speed I feel a little aprehensive about going that route. I wouldn't mind adapting a flexable bushing repair into the archives of performance upgrades for our cars. Good luck.

You asked just at the right time. I have my M2 toe links sitting right here No pics but I can measure it for you.

The heim joints are 3 1/2" long each, 1 3/4 of that is thread. The hole/sleeve in the heim joint where the bolt goes through is app. 7/16". The sleeve itself stretches 1 1/2" wide which consists of one 3/8" spacer on each side of the joint. Confusing??

The actual rod is 6" long, about 1" in diameter, and looks like 9/16 threads.

I've had the M2 trailing arms and toe links installed for more than a year and they don't cause any unusual handling problems on my car. And this includes a fair amount of use on the track, where the car sees far higher speeds and lateral G-loads than it does on public roads.

If someone's having stability problems, I'd suggest they check their installation first, and then their alignment.

Who told you that? They work great and I've seen no difference from stock at high speeds...

Sweet! GsrSol, thanks. Anyone want to help me out with the trailing arms?

C'mon, somebody, please measure your trailing arms. Pretty please with a cherry on top. I just want to give him the most info possible.
