what do you guys think are the most beneficial? Trailing arms or toe links? What noticeable differences have you noticed after installing them? do you still get wheel hop? or should I just get a fuel pressure regulator?

come on guys....someone knows something about trailing arms and toe links.


^^^^^^^^^^bumpskey

 

Trailing arms help with wheel hop, at least in my case.

My toe links (Pettit) lasted less than 10k. Time for new (decent quality) rod ends

oh well.

The toe links were to replace my worn toe links. while they were tight they were good, but once shot, lots of clunking, and rattling over bumps.

 

ah I see....So toe links don't last long. or at least the pettit units . are your trailing arms still working good? who made them, and are they worth it?

Matt

 

just buy both =). made my stock suspension so sweet.

 

I have the k2rd toe links and trailing arms in my FD.

 

I only have the m2 trailing arms, and I must say, they made a HUGE difference when I had crappy tires on my stock rims. I don't remember the brand of tires, but there are a few turns around here that really show the difference. With my cheap tires on stock rims, I would always hear squeeling @ the end of the turn, which went away for a while longer with the m2 trailing arms.
For the price, I highly recommend them.

* I also had/have Eibachs/Tokicos

 

How about changing the bushings in the oem trailing arms? Shouldnt that give the same effect as replacing the whole arm?

 

Yes, but you can only get that bushing by purchasing an entire arm. That's the only way it is available from Mazda.

 

i recently replaced a set of worn toe links for a friend and got to thinking... unlike solid rear axle suspensions with no toe adjustibility the independent rear employs a link for steering (toe). mazda has mounted the link at both ends in rubber! there is no significant reason to insulate the link as it isn't a weight carrying member of the suspension, except in turns. can you imagine how crummy your car would handle if the front (tie rods and steering rack end-links) were mounted with the same rubber bushings? there is no difference in the function of the steering rack links in front and the rear toe links. my view is that the rear toe links should be at the top of the to-do list in the rear. i bought the Rotary Extreme product as they have rubber rod end shields so should last as long as the car.

unless you make your own.

 

Of course. You can get money by printing it yourself too

 

dont you start to, guys at work are all over me for this issue.....

Seriusly, harder bushings (polyurethane, Teflon etc.) shoud do it, without being weared out as fast as a unibolt.
