Welcome to our Godspeed Toe Arms category, where precision meets performance in rear suspension upgrades. These adjustable sets of two are designed for enthusiasts tuning Subaru BRZ, various Lexus models, BMW 3-Series, and Ford Focus, allowing fine-tuned toe adjustments to optimize handling, reduce tire wear, and boost cornering grip on street or track.
Why Choose Godspeed Toe Arms?
Godspeed has built a solid reputation in the aftermarket suspension world for delivering affordable, high-quality parts that rival pricier brands. Their toe arms stand out with robust construction, using either spherical bearings for maximum adjustability and durability under extreme conditions or ball joints for smoother street driving. Crafted from lightweight yet strong materials, these arms correct rear toe settings compromised by lowered springs or aggressive camber setups, restoring neutral handling and preventing uneven tire scrub.
Ideal for autocross, drifting, or daily spirited driving, Godspeed toe arms integrate seamlessly into your build. Whether you're dialing in a track-focused Subaru BRZ (model AK-018-B) or a classic Lexus LS400 (AK-061), these components provide the adjustability needed for perfect alignment without breaking the bank.
Key Features to Consider
- Adjustability: Turnbuckle-style design allows easy on-car adjustments from -3 to +3 degrees of toe, ensuring precise setup.
- Bearing Options: Spherical bearings (e.g., AK-018-B, AK-135-A) offer zero play and high articulation for racing; ball joints (e.g., AK-025-B, AK-061) provide OEM-like compliance for comfort.
- Compatibility: Vehicle-specific fitment for hassle-free installation, covering JDM icons like Lexus GS300/400/430 (AK-025-B, AK-042-B), IS250/350 (AK-095-A), IS300 (AK-025-A), and more.

Comparing Godspeed Models
Godspeed offers tailored options across platforms. For Lexus faithful, compare the GS300 (S140) AK-042-B with ball joints for smooth highway manners against the later GS300/400/430 (S160) AK-025-B, which shares similar tech but fits updated chassis. The IS300 (XE10) AK-025-A and IS250/350 (XE20) AK-095-A evolve this lineup with refined geometry for better daily usability.
BMW 3-Series (E90/E92/E93) owners rave about AK-135-A's spherical bearings, providing superior feedback over stock. Subaru BRZ tuners opt for AK-018-B spherical setup to match stiff coilovers. Ford Focus variants shine with AK-215-E (ST 2013-17 spherical) versus the broader AK-215-D lateral arms (2000-18), ideal for rallycross builds.
LS400 (UCF20) AK-061 rounds out luxury applications. Select based on your drivetrain demands: spherical for aggression, ball joints for balance. All bolt on with basic tools, enhancing setups in broader Replacement Parts upgrades.
