Default Whats the difference? (Suspension Guru's Please help)

I'm lowered, and I have SPC rear lower control arms. My toe is maxed out on the factory adjustment so my toe is wacky out back.

I'm looking into SPC rear toe adjusters but there are two types.

1 Type

2nd Type

Yes, I know one is red and the other is black. I just want to know if one has more adjustment than the other one.

Supra8215 [8:35 PM]: whats the difference from this to
SLimsta Jimsta 5 [8:36 PM]: one's red, one's black
SLimsta Jimsta 5 [8:36 PM]: you idiot
Yah, he's a asshole.

What is you Toe per side? Is one side able to get centered and the other is either way to in or way to out. If so how far off is it? How close can you come to where you want you toe to be? Also has the car been hit in the rear, or curbed hard in the rear? If you can get one side where you want it and the other side is close..... Its time to hit the Junk yard and snag a rear trailing arm. I had this same problem on my 91 Si. The alignment shop cound not get it with in 1/2 inch of 0 toe on the right side. I replaced the right side trailing arm and it was able to be aligned to anything I wanted. Try that first and save yourself $100.

I just looked on SPC's web site and I cant figure out the black set at all. If you really want to go with a toe kit the red kit is the way to go.

Alignment was perfect before then. No the car has never been hit in the ass end and I've never had any problem before hand. The control arms were brand new and the install was very easy. I get alignments like every other day, My brother, and all my friends work at my dealership so they do alignments for me for free.

I don't have a up to date print out, but before the control arm install, I had perfect toe and 1.5 camber.
