rear toe eccentric eliminator

Hey - Does anyone here know of a company that makes a rear trailing arm outer pickup point toe eccentric eliminator kit? I've looked through the archives and couldn't find any information.

i'd liek to know too..
MMR makes a bearing set to replace the stock bushings, but apparently you lose toe adjustability (have to buy adjustable lateral links).
i've heard Pettit makes aluminum inserts, and i would assume its the same deal.

I've kept the stock eccentric adjuster and adjusted them to the full up position. I did this because the car is lower then stock and I'm trying to maintain roll center higher (closer to the CG). I adjust the toe with custom HEIM jointed lateral links. I'm also using full urathan bushings through out, TEIN FLEX coilovers, single and individual camber links, DTSS eliminaters and the front the same urathan, but I lowered my lower ball joint position to gain back some roll center and also to gain some negative camber under compression (us Strut guys can use all the neg camber gain we can!). I haven't messed with any front tie rod postions yet or even blue printed them up yet to see if it even needs dicking with.

Whats the benfit of eliminating the rear eccentric bolts?

AWR makes a spherical bearing for the rear arms, it eliminates the stock cam bolt and requires that you use their (or make your own) adjustable toe links to replace the stock non-asjustable ones.

I have seen that. I like Josh's idea about the roll center, but did notice that you get what AWR gives you if decide to go that route.
