Josh, I have the rear track arms (rear trailing arms), and they are really really heavy compared to the stock arms. After installing them, yes they got rid of the noise I had from the worn stock bushings/bearings, though there are some quirks that came with them. Sometimes while going over a dip/slose quickly with some decent speed, it sounds like they make a scraping noise... could be the sound of the pillowball/spherical bearings moving/and the arm slightly turning on the pivoting end, though not sure what the culprit really is.

Also, I am really wondering about the weight issue. So many times I'll read about car manufacturers highlighting their aluminum suspension... I assume to highlight the lightweight factor of the suspension... Seeing as these arms weigh so much more... by hand feel, they feel like about 3x the weight of the stock arms.

My car felt slightly Less nimble after the addition of the arms... I'm wondering though, since these are trailing arms, which I thought were meant mostly to control anti-squat, that they wouldn't affect cornering response... So I'm wondering if the less nimble feel is either 1) all in my head 2) due to the heavier weight, or 3) due to the fact that I have not yet realigned the car since, and I'm sure the alignment is slightly off now.

I am debating the addition of the front arms, and the rear toe arms, because of this weight issue. I worry that the addition of these other arms, would add more weight to the suspension, and make the car less nimble and less responsive. I noticed the other aftermarket toe arms, like TRG and Tarrett's look to be lightweight aluminum, and use half of a factory oem aluminum rod. Comparing these options versus Che's toe arms is what I'm interested in. They weigh much more and are made of Steel, not aluminum.

I'm definitely no suspension expert, so I would love to hear everyone's theories and input on this.
