Godspeed AK-156-A Rear Toe Arms Review | 2014–2021 Lexus IS

Godspeed AK-156-A Adjustable Rear Toe Arms Review: Suspension Upgrade for the 2014–2021 Lexus IS

Lowering a 2014–2021 Lexus IS200t, IS250, IS300, IS350, or IS Turbo (XE30) improves both appearance and handling, but it also alters rear suspension geometry. Excessive rear toe can cause unstable handling and rapid tire wear if left uncorrected. The Godspeed AK-156-A Adjustable Rear Toe Arms are designed to restore proper rear alignment with ±3 degrees of toe adjustment, making them an ideal upgrade for lowered street cars and weekend track builds.

Constructed from heavy-duty steel alloy with performance spherical bearings and a corrosion-resistant powder-coated finish, these direct-fit rear toe arms provide precise alignment adjustments while improving suspension response and stability.

Editor’s Note: Although the product description references both camber and toe adjustment, the AK-156-A is specifically a rear toe arm kit designed to adjust rear toe geometry. It is not intended for air suspension-equipped vehicles or vehicles requiring extreme camber correction.

Restore Proper Rear Toe

Lowering your suspension frequently moves rear toe outside factory specifications.

The Godspeed AK-156-A provides:

  • ±3° rear toe adjustment
  • Factory alignment correction
  • Reduced uneven tire wear
  • Improved rear suspension geometry
  • Better vehicle stability

Correct rear toe is one of the most important alignment settings for maintaining straight-line stability and predictable handling.


Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

These rear toe arms are engineered for long-term durability.

Construction highlights include:

  • Heavy-duty steel alloy
  • Precision-welded construction
  • Corrosion-resistant powder coating
  • Performance adjustment mechanism
  • Built for street and motorsports use

The durable finish helps protect the suspension components from rust and road debris.


Performance Spherical Bearings

Instead of factory rubber bushings, the AK-156-A utilizes spherical bearings.

Benefits include:

  • Reduced suspension deflection
  • More accurate alignment under load
  • Improved chassis response
  • Better rear suspension control
  • Sharper handling during aggressive driving

Because spherical bearings are firmer than rubber bushings, some additional noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) is expected.


Improve Handling & Tire Life

Proper rear toe adjustment offers several performance advantages.

Benefits include:

  • Longer tire life
  • Better high-speed stability
  • Improved cornering balance
  • Increased rear grip
  • More predictable handling

These improvements become especially noticeable after installing lowering springs or coilovers.


Direct Bolt-On Installation

The AK-156-A is engineered as a direct replacement for the factory rear toe arms.

Typical installation includes:

  1. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
  2. Remove the factory rear toe arms.
  3. Install the Godspeed adjustable toe arms.
  4. Set a preliminary toe adjustment.
  5. Torque hardware to factory specifications.
  6. Perform a professional four-wheel alignment.

Professional installation is strongly recommended.


Benefits After Installation

Properly adjusted rear suspension can provide:

  • Improved rear stability
  • Better steering response
  • Reduced irregular tire wear
  • More consistent suspension geometry
  • Factory-spec alignment after lowering

Pros

  • Fits 2014–2021 Lexus IS XE30 models
  • ±3° rear toe adjustment
  • Heavy-duty steel alloy construction
  • Precision spherical bearings
  • Corrosion-resistant powder-coated finish
  • Direct bolt-on installation
  • Excellent for lowered vehicles
  • Improves handling and tire longevity

Cons

  • Professional alignment required after installation
  • Not designed for air suspension applications
  • Spherical bearings increase NVH compared to rubber bushings
  • Installation instructions are not included
  • Toe adjustment alone does not correct rear camber; separate adjustable camber arms may also be required on heavily lowered vehicles

Final Verdict

The Godspeed AK-156-A Adjustable Rear Toe Arms are an excellent suspension upgrade for 2014–2021 Lexus IS200t, IS250, IS300, IS350, and IS Turbo models. With ±3 degrees of rear toe adjustment, heavy-duty steel construction, and precision spherical bearings, they provide the alignment flexibility needed to improve handling, restore suspension geometry, and extend tire life after lowering.

For Lexus IS owners building a street, autocross, or track-oriented car, the AK-156-A is a valuable addition to a complete suspension setup, especially when paired with adjustable rear camber arms.
