Some of you were interested in the rear active toe thing I mentioned last night, so here's a link with some information on it:

If you are going to do this on a street-driven car, you need to be careful. The trailing arm is stamped and welded mild steel, but the toe link is cast iron. It is very dificult to weld cast iron properly. If you don't pre- and post-heat it properly, and use the correct filler material, you will end up with a piece that is very likely to crack along the weld. With a high-powered DSM, this could be a dangerous recipe.
