Ok so I got some toe arms out of a junkyard, and have been trying to figure out what company they belong to.

From looking around at pics they resemble BattleVersion the most, but I figure if someone on here has em they might be able to help me identify them.

They are adjustable and all, so I would assume the only thing that will set them apart from the rest is color. In most pics I have seen they are purple, well my arms are as I look at em right now gunmetallish, but when I get in some brighter lighting they have a bit of purple to them, I don't know if it's just cameras and flashes that make them look a lot more purple in pictures.

Now is there any other indications of the company or is it just going to continue bieng a mystery to me?

That would be one of the pics I saw, and it never really looks "that" purple, but comes close in the right lighting. Surprised there is no marking or anything on these things.

Hrm, I never thought of them as purple...always looked black to me, but a weird black, not jet black.

Thats what I thought too, they look like some funny platinum like black.

But occasionally purple.

I think the question that needs to be asked here is what junk yard do you find rear adjustable pillowball toe arms cuz I gotta hit one of these places up. Are you serious about finding this in a junk yard?

There is already one too many people that know about it, cuz someone took the front KYB AGX Eibach sportlines. So I got stuck with the rears, but I did get the Toe arms so I'm happy.

Cost me 15 bucks. :)

The toe links are not purple, they are grey.

I must not that that is a great deal and an incredible grab......I wish there were junkyards around here with cool cars that were wrecked so I could get cheap parts. Well good luck finding out who makes them from the sounds of it, it seems like they would indeed be the battle version Toe links.

Of course they will probably just sit a box for a while until I can get rear upper arm and the other link. Stock toe adjustment is enough even for slammed cars.

Not so with my car. There is enough adjustment until you get the upper arms and set the camber back to normal, then your stock toe links will run out of adjustment. I never advise anyone to buy the upper arms alone (unless you plan to keep your rear camber at -3 or whatever), I learned that the hard way. Remember, all the links back there work together. Change one setting, and it screws up the rest.

Hey Aaron, when you get the s15 subframe, take some measurements so we can tell if the suspension link mounting points are relocated in reference to the subframe mounting points. Specifically, I'm interested in whether or not the toe/traction links are higher or lower than on the s13 subframe..

will do
might start measuring/comparing/taking pisc this weekend
looking forward to the toe link deal and the RLCA angles and such. all that. quite excited for it hehehehe..:)

a local shop is going to do the welding/offset of the moutning points fixing for me too. cant wait. its really going to happen now haha..

On the subject of swapping other suspensions onto a S13, does anyone have any thoughts about a S15 or S14 or even a Z32 front control arm onto a S13. I know the Z32 is multilink but the lca and tension rods look really similar. I understand why the s14/15 subframe is put on S13's in Japan often, but the fronts are a bit confusing to me. I am guessing its a longer control arm, and the end result is wider track, and more camber.
