This hit me the other day. These plates are supposed to correct toe alignment on our cars. It was mentioned that OTG would try to offer these plates in Japan. Based on what I know, Most cars in Japan running "demon" camber on the back prolly have toe correction as the last thing on their mind. At what drop on our xB's does this toe correction come into effect? A one inch drop? Or is it 2 or 3 inches? Everyone has a different drop therefore everyone is going to have different toe correction. Am I right on this matter? I have toe in with the way I am cambered now and I think it looks just fine. Of course it would with airride anyway.

 

i thought about this, but then i thought about the US market. theres guys like hahajoey running what is it, 11 offset and 5 degrees of camber, and he probably doesnt care (i may be wrong) as much as for instance i would, about toe correction. im sure theres people in Japan worried about toe correction. not just all the people that get featured in the bB bibles. i had my toe/alignment checked by a local shop and they said im almost perfect with spec still. (im on Tanabe DF210s. 2.2 in front, 2 in back) so i guess you'll have to go lower than that to worry about toe correction.

i wondered this also. i assume its all relatively close, but i wasnt sure . maybe Van, Joey, Squirrel, or one of those guys will hop on and clear this up for us.

good thread btw Jim. i had a lot of these same questions.

yeah, it's not like we have any adjustable range or the ability to have it like, say a tC where there may be or already are adjustable tierods for the rear suspension. I just thought I would mention that installing the plates will cure all toe problems. Personally, I could care less about toe correction anyway.
