Yeah but then I'd also need to replace my rear dampers with M3 spec dampers. It is tempting to do this I must admit. Did you do that mod on your car?

Feedback needed, which is the best toe arm for longitivtiy under all weather DD condition and monthly auto-x? Megan, RE, or HPA?
Currently sourcing all the parts needed for M3 lower rear camber link conversion. I thought the stock non-M toe arm would fit just fine, but now I am reading conflicting report from calwaterboy... Figured might as well replaced the crappy stamped steel stock arms anyway, but would hate to replace the bearings on the new one every year or two. There sure is a lot of rust on that megan toe arms from the picture posted above...

That rust is on the adjusting nut, not the sealed bearing. You could replace them with a SS nuts of the correct thread if you wanted.
I'm running all three megan arms on mine DD, track, and heavily salted winter with zero issues. Is it the best? No idea as I haven't tried anything else, but I'm also not experiencing any noises or slop. FWIW and YMMV. Disclaimer: pic from when freshly installed: |

Welp I just purchased a set of the Megan arms, so we'll see. If it held up for Ash in VA, it'll hold up for me in DC. Anything for moar rear grip is welcome.

rear center brace, nothing to do with dampers. I actually took off center brace and just used the sides like most do.

How does 450/800 spring feels on the street?

Yep. Like everyone else says-Megan Racing. My car isn't that low so oem toe arms with firmer bushings work for me,

Totally acceptable! I've run 336/672, 450/800, and 400/800. All feel somewhat similar in terms of comfort because the damping is what dominates the feel while the springs tune the balance and corner behavior when loaded up.

I've been running linear coil springs from the beginning. First swift 336/672 on AST 4100s, which were too soft to get a good platform on the track. Then Hyperco 450/800. Then Swift 400 (392) / hyperco 800. On the JRZ's I will try both 450/800 and 400/800.
