Wow, good catch. You are absolutely right! The text says you need 2 of the bump steer links per car, so that lower price is PER toe arm, not for a pair. The other price for the regular arms is for a pair.

You don't really "NEED" the toe arms. Again, that's only if you're really worried about tire wear. Remember this is just a suggestion if you want things perfect. I think ~95% of the guys lowering their Boxsters are not buying these toe arms. I didn't have them with lowering springs and I don't have them now with coil overs. Mostly if you race a lot, really lower the car with coil overs, and want to get the alignment perfect is when you'd want to have the toe arms.

The one thing you do NEED after you install lowering springs is a four wheel alignment.
