Yup. IIRC, even Exiges & 340Rs have the standard toe link from the factory.....

That I'll be a case of "when" rather than "if" then.

It's the advice from the guys at Lotus Motorsport - anything sticker than the advans needs the toelinks upgraded (on S1's)

Think he was asking if they were uprated as standard... Long discussions could be had about standard toelinks and sticky tyres - the only thing I used that were stickier than Maxies were R888s and the link went when it was wearing Maxies.....
