My apologies for the confusion, i thought you were talking about the toe arm "traction arm" as the adjuster linkage to replace.

It seemed pretty self explanatory you can't use the aftermarket "toe arm" with the oem style divorced spring combination. In that optionzero recommendations is what you need with a divorced spring coilover if you want to change camber and toe. But to be clear, the "toe arm" subsequently changes camber and toe simultaneously (more toe than camber), certainly if you are still using the oem traction arm in the front.

The odd thing i don't understand about the aftermarket kits, is why isn't there adjustable upper control arms. This would be extremely better for changing camber and using the lower arm to fine tune toe. Changing the lower control arm geometry effectively changes the wheel base and SR.
