Rear Toe Lockout Kit?

Hey everyone,


Quick question. I'm about to get toe arms installed on my sedan, in place of my spring buckets since I have true coilovers. I'm now reading about the possibility of needing a rear toe lockout kit? Something like this below? Anyone have experience or can shed light on this?


Thanks for your help!

The eccentric lockout will ensure the only adjustment is via the toe arms and not their mounting point inboard. Plus the inboard adjustment eccentric can slip/move over time.

Thanks for the response. I guess what I'm asking is, is the lockout kit definitely needed when using toe arms? I didn't read a whole lot about this kit during my research.

It's basically a good idea for the reasons I stated. It's not necessary but you may find your toe drifts a bit unless you torque the eccentric nut/bolt to some ungodly figure. I think I read 120ft. lbs. on the 370z forum. And even then, it could move. But not necessary. People have made their own with bar stock too.

Thanks, guess I'll have to get it.
