Default which rear toe kit for ef 91 civic?

hey guys i am trying to do an alignment on my car and after all my heavy suspension modding it seems i need a rear toe kit to get my alignment right.

so, i am looking for a quality rear toe kit for my ef 91 civic.
something that will last and will be easy to install and adjust when they are installed.
which brand/model do you guys recommend? since these are not that much in the first place, i have no issue with costs.
i would have bought skunk2 but i didnt see that they had any.

update:
DO NOT BUY "SPC" products!
after doing some research i got people who do not know the product at all. i cant say if the actual product is good or bad but customer service is very lacking to say the least.

as we all know we do major mods on our cars so its really no longer within spec or even close to being oem. i caledl a dealer that carried the SPC rear toe link and they could not answer my simple question. so i called SPC themselves and they could not even answer the question.
they gave me the run around answer and it all turned out that they didnt know the answer. i feel bad that i could not try the product just because of these reps, but i need my question answered and they could not supply it. i really feel my question wasnt that hard.
all i needed to know was the range when it is expanded and closed. (from eye to eye).
as simple as tell me it in inches.

travis at SPC didnt even know the anwer but first said he couldnt give me the answer as it would be illegal to install it into a modded car. huh???? he said he is not an engineer and that an engineer for it would need to get the proper documents to tell me the measurements when closed and open..... what theeee??!?!?
but it all turned out that he didnt know the answer and that was all he needed to tell me.
another option was, he could have called or walked over to the warehouse to pick one up and measured real quick. he really didnt care so he said "this conversation isnt going to go anywhere."
wow! really??
i said thanks and hung up.

with this type of customer service you a a buyer should be very worried, because if you have warrenty issues im pretty sure they will make it very difficult if impossible to claim.
spc:800-525-6505 travis (the lazy)

i also called PASSWORD JDM:

i asked the same question. brad from the place went out to pick up a unit and actually measured the part for me while i waited on the phone.
from eye to eye in inches.
max open - complete closed (est. 7 - 5.5 inches).

thanks brad from passwordjdm.
ill be picking one set up.
great customer service.
tell him your picking up with cash on any product.


$143.99
i will be buying from passowordJDM.

according to the alignment guy, i cant get lower if i want to be in spec.
all i know is that that if i want to get a bit more lowered on the wagon i need more toe adjustment.
as for the numbers, i dont know yet because he just said come back when you have it installed and he can do the full alignment. in the mean time we left it higher than i really wanted. i didnt want a huge amount of toe off cause it will ride messed up and wear out crazy fast.

hope that helps you with my original question.
which toe kit for the civic is of high quality and easiest to use?

awesome. we are in the same boat. do you have a civic wagon?


as of last night i found two im leaning towards. i dont know if they are of high quality and easy to use and install but the two im thinking of is:

passwordjdm,






and

spc,






pricing is similar on both.

things to keep in mind:

to use spherical or not. there seems to be a positive and negative on each type.
both of these happens to be spherical.

even though some look the same and even tho they can be adjusted, the length will vary. so make sure the the version you buy will fall into your required length you need.

How low is your car? I have not seen a Civic hatch, no matter how slammed, have issues with getting toe back to zero in the rear.

Unless this is a Wagon thing only? Regardless, I'd make sure there isn't something else that's screwed up causing this.

Rear Toe?

Are you sure it's not camber that needs adjustment. You can adjust the toe by loosening the swing arm bolt towards the front of the suspension and moving the arm..
