Not really sure. In terms of adjustment, the stock links should provide a pretty good range... my car is lowered 0.5"+ and have no problems with alignment.
Perhaps the Dinan links reduce the amount of flex from the factory bushings? |

It will make it easier to adjust the toe and camber separately. With the stock rear arms, the toe arm is right next to the camber arm, so when you adjust the camber, you will also change the toe. Bryan, at JIC/Cross was showing me how much the toe changes as you adjust the camber a couple weeks ago when I went in for more negative camber in back. He then had to adjust the toe after he got the camber I wanted.
With really lowered cars, some have posted difficulty getting the toe to the setting they want because of the negative camber they had to set for tire/wheels clearance. I believe Rogue has a toe arm too for this reason. The owner of JIC/Cross was looking at the arms and saying an adjustable upper arm that's right in line with the rear hub would be the arm change since you could adjust the camber easily without changing the toe. I don't know about that flexing or stability of the stock arm, but I'm not at that level of a driver yet.

The arm they were talking about is the one right above the spindle/hub. It's pretty far from the toe arm, where as on the stock car, the camber arm and toe arm right right next to each other. You may still get some crosstalk, but not nearly as much as with the stock camber arm.

typically I have always used this sort of item on any road course track car I had, we used for ease of adjustment and rigidity, remove the flex of bushind.. helped under braking and stayed in alignment longer on a very hard pushed track car
