Description

Experience improved traction and feedback from your Porsche with our Suspension Secrets Adjustable Rear Toe Arms.

Our solidly mounted toe arms offer the following benefits:

Improved traction
Complete control over rear toe angles
Increased stability
Full setup control
Easily adjusted with a 17mm spanner

Our adjustable rear toe arms are a great upgrade for giving your Porsche more stability on straights and on corner exit. Our fully adjustable rear toe arms are an excellent upgrade especially if your Porsche Boxster/Cayman has been lowered. After being lowered, the bump steer arc of your Porsche changes slightly, which causes the wheels to be toed out slightly. This can cause very uneven and unpredictable handling. Our adjustable toe arms allow you to reset the ideal toe position.

We’ve designed our adjustable toe arms to be easily adjustable with a simple 17mm spanner, and we’ve also ensured they are easy to access. You have access to the full range of adjustment offered by our toe arms without ever having to remove a wheel.

Toe

Toe is the angle between each wheel with relation to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The animation below illustrates to toe-in, toe-out and zero toe.

There are three types of toe: toe-in, toe-out and zero toe. Each toe setting has a separate purpose and an impact upon directional stability when used on a car. Toe has an effect on three major areas which are: corner entry handling, tyre wear and straight line stability.

Toe-In

On the front axle of a car toe-in creates straight-line stability, albeit at the expense of some initial reluctance from the car at during the corner turn-in phase. Toe-in on the rear axle again improves straight-line stability, but also induces a slight amount of slip angle which helps when putting power to the ground.

Toe-in is more common for fast road use.

Toe-Out

On the front axle of a car toe-out creates instability in a straight-line. At speed, when a wheel with toe-out is turned, the wheel is pulled rearwards which increases the toe-out angle, pulling the wheel even more outwards. This can even pull the car into yaw. Front axle toe-out can make a car twitchy and unpredictable at high speeds.

Toe-out does improve turn-in into corners, and the responsiveness of the front end.

Toe-out on the rear axle can create a slip angle which allows for more traction and acceleration, but with a rear-wheel drive chassis it can also lead to unwanted levels of oversteer.

Front-axle toe-out is more commonly used for track day or racing applications.

Zero Toe

Running zero toe on either the front or rear axles results in minimum tyre wear and power loss. This is because running any level of toe, no matter how small, causes the tyre to scrub in a straight line due to the incurred slip angle, which reduces the rolling efficiency of the tyre.

Zero toe does not improve handling or feedback, nor does it create slip angle – all of which are desirable in performance driving – and as a result either toe-in or toe-out are more commonly chosen depending on use.
