Unless you're racing a lot, how many times do you adjust the toe on street/autox/de cars? Putting the heim joints on isn't expensive and works.

assumes you can source, fabricate, and mount the external toe-link for $0, which I don't believe many people can...

It appears the external link may provide some reinforcement which the big-HP, big-tire people could use. If you just want quick toe adjustment, the Tangerine parts look quite nice.

I believe the real total installed cost is going to be pretty close either way.

No... Never said a word about PMS ...


I bet one can build a setup like the one pictured in my initial post for a lot less than $240.

And i have no idea why you think that one needs to remove the rocker panels to do the adjusting.

On my 914, there's plenty of space to get a wrench in there.

No Eric did.
I dont disagree the average joe might be able source the parts for less than that, but then you have to weld-up,
not only the body, but the stamped steel spot welded mounting ears, w/o distorting the sh*t out of them.
Not something the avg. Joe has skill or access to.
My point was, while agreeing that the application of toe adj. was a good one,
I tend agree w/Rich that it may end up costing near the same as a BOLT-ON solution.
I have no experience with ease of adjustment of that setup I was just responding to a previous comment.
