Ct5-V Blackwing precision pkg rear aluminum toe links

[No Usury]

Is it a lot of work to swap v8v toe links on before a track event and swap them back off afterward? Or is it a very simple thing to do that as part of the alignment any shop can just do it for you?

Why on earth would you want to do this?

They are fairly easy to install but a shop would charge you an hour to do it and you will need an alignment after each swap. So it would be several hundred $ each time in addition to the hassle. Just swap once. They should be able to dial in a street camber settling even with the V8V arms.

I've seen conflicting information about that (street alignment with V8V arms):

• shifts the range of possible rear camber about -0.4 degrees
• The "OEM" one gives you a range between a regular street alignment and a moderate track alignment. The Precision Package toe link gives you a range between an aggressive street alignment and a full on track alignment. Neither part can both provide a basic street alignment and the full track alignment.

I'm not sure how to find out for sure without doing experiments at the alignment shop.

Looking at my alignment sheet, the before (i.e. factory specs with the stock arms), the rear camber was -0.7 and -1.1. If you change to the V8V arms, that increases camber by 0.4 so you could be at around -1.1 (possibly less). I would call that “aggressive street”, but no where near enough to cause uneven tire wear if you keep the toe to a minimum.

With the V8V arms maxed out, I have -2.0 in the rear. Just a bit of toe at 0.1* total toe in.
