Why do R35 GT-R owners replace the rear toe control arms?

The factory rear toe control arms on the R35 GT-R are fixed, so toe-in cannot be corrected once ride height has changed. On a lowered or coilover-equipped GT-R, the stock arm leaves the rear geometry wherever it ends up rather than where it should be. The Top Secret rear toe control arms R35 give a free adjustment range so toe can be set correctly for the actual ride height and suspension configuration.

What happens to rear toe when an R35 is lowered?

Lowering the car changes the effective length and angle of every rear suspension link, including the toe arm. The result on a fixed arm is a toe value that drifts from the factory spec, typically toward toe-out, which reduces rear stability and can cause the car to feel unsettled under load. Adjustable arms allow toe to be brought back to the correct value regardless of ride height.

How does adjustable rear toe affect handling on track?

Rear toe-in adds straight-line stability and reduces the tendency for the rear to step out under power. Too much toe-in introduces understeer and can slow rotation through tight corners. The right value depends on the circuit, the driver, and what the rest of the suspension is doing. Adjustable arms make it possible to find and hold that value precisely rather than accepting whatever the fixed arm delivers.

Do these arms work with the Top Secret rear camber and tension arms?

Yes. The rear toe control arms, camber arms, and tension arms from Top Secret are all designed for the R35 platform and are intended to be run together. Using adjustable arms across all three rear geometry points gives complete alignment control, which is not possible when any one of the three remains a fixed OEM component.

Top Secret Rear Toe Control Arms for R35 Nissan GT-R

The Top Secret rear toe control arms R35 GT-R builds running lowered or modified suspension need replace the factory fixed arm with a fully adjustable unit built from STKM13 carbon steel. Toe-in at the rear is a geometry value the OEM setup locks in place; once ride height changes, that value shifts and cannot be corrected without an adjustable arm. These give a free range of toe adjustment that works across street alignment and track-specific setups, with pillow ball ends that hold the geometry you set rather than deflecting under load the way factory rubber does. The turnbuckle system is the practical advantage: adjustment is made by rotating the center section without touching the undercover, so toe changes at the circuit happen between sessions rather than on a lift. For an R35 that is being aligned seriously, having adjustable toe alongside adjustable camber and caster gives the geometry control the platform is capable of but the OEM arms prevent.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
