Rear toe rod options? What do you recommend?
Right rear toe rod bent in collision. Do the Banski/VBP toe rods have much advantage over stock? I have wider 11" wheels.
Another other options/recommendations?

Banski, no issue with 11 wheels, can't speak if using coil overs.
I think the biggest gain is with their trailing arms as they free up the wheels movement.

I picked up a later year (95 I think) toe rod from a low mile car and it had grease fittings. I thought it a nice upgrade! The grease was gone in the stock non-grease fitting unit that was on my '88. Got it in the parts section here.

VBandP Toe Rods with Race Ends which are heim joint. Advantage is more precise adjustment and maintains alignment better in hard cornering. But if you don't intend to autox or track, the stock will work just fine.

Banski. I just installed the complete kit and I'm really pleased with the results. The rear end is so much quicker and smoother responding then it's ever been. It really is a completely different car with these on. The ride is so much nicer compared to the original parts. The guy who did my alignment commented on how easy it made things to adjust. It gives you infinite variability.

I think ANY rear toe system that does not have a non-serviceable end link is a major step UP. Even grease zerks on the stock plastic cup inner is an improvement,. but the set that's Klyde installed looks great and really cleans up the rear suspension. Bet its lighter too. Less load (dead weight) on the wheel/knuckle (unsprung weight) the better the reaction of the suspension.
I'd buy that set-up.

The reason I suggest the Banski's is they are Teflon coated. I also purchased the rubber boots to help keep dust out. With the Teflon you don't have to worry about lubricating them and they have less mechanical noise under rough terrain. They do make the car ride and handle a lot better. These made the most difference.
