So I need to get myself a set of Toe Control Arms before I shell out $175 for a damn alignment. But I got a question. Can I use any Toe Control Arm with my HICAS s13? It dosent look like it would bolt up right as the hicas is controled by what was the toe control arms. Some people said if I were to get the Rear Forward Links/Traction Rods I would have to disable HICAS. So what is the deal requarding all this. Thanks!

no you wont need the toe links b/c you have tie rods back there. they should have enough adjustment to get your toe corrects. but even if you wanted to put them on, they wouldnt fit. no where to put them... you can get traction and camber rods though.

You *could* install toe arms from the non-Hicas models, however you need to change the bushing on the spindle (the Hicas uses a ball joint) and you need to fabricate a bracket on the subframe (similar to the one in our Hicas eliminator kit).

For Hicas to work without binding, you need some compliance in the traction rod/spindle bushings.
