As the rears are worn I’m considering R888’s as these are more affordable than the yoko’s
but i read something about the original toe links to be weak especially when fitting a039
as these toelink kit costs about the same as two tyres, i don’t wanna fit it when it’s not needed
anyone having a guess
have a look on seloc, make a quick search in order to have a freaky taste
people upgrade for uprated toe link with sticky tires, R888 are obviously sticky tires.
but this is recommanded for track day use
i used to drive my 111s for one year on track with R888 and without sticky tires, i uprgraded when i checked the worn bush one one of them
the other benefit than security of uprated toe links is the handling of the car, more drivable in the corner, a kind of sweet S2 feeling

The uprated toe links will make zero difference to the handling. They are a strength and durability item only.
The only way they will change the handling is if they are shimmed differently for bumpsteer.

what does that mean ?
It means that changing from a standard set of toe links to an uprated set will have no effect on handling.
If you look at the picture above, the only way a uniball toe-link kit will affect the handing would be down to someone setting the height of the outer ball joint (under the caliper) differently to standard.
If this happens then the bumpsteer characteristics will be changed.
ok
this is a swap but if you change the geo settings it will affect the handling (noobie inside)
i upgraded the toe links on both of my cars and immediately made a geo, more or less agressive settings than before.
thanks
sry for the diverted question
by the way, i had a look on elise shop toe link, i am really impressed by the high quality of theses and the lightweight too
if i have to buy new one, i will go with theses
thnx guys
but when money is an issue (at least at the mo’ it is)
can i go for a set of r888 without upgrades toelinks
or would it be a bad idea to fit R888 without these toelinks
and forget the R888 and just go for the standard Yoko’s
by the way, the elise shop toe links kit looks great!
