do you need toe links for true coilover setup?

I plan on ordering a set of stance gr+ truecoilover setup for my g35 coupe soon. But I heard about it requiring you to get aftermarket toe arms to fill the empty spring bucket? This doesn't apply for the OEM version of the coilovers. Can somebody tell me if i will need these? I already have the spc rear camber kit. I don't need any additional toe adjustments i doubt. Just confused if this is necessary or can I do without the toe links?

is it safe to keep those oem springs buckets? also, those rear true coilovers are much bigger compared to stock shock and they will hit the inner wheel barrel if you run aftermarket wheels right.

Yes it is perfectly safe, it is preforming the exact same function. They are bigger, but your not talking huge. I have no issues running a 20x12 with neg camber. Its all dependent on your wheel.

good to know cause i don't wanna spend close to 300 bucks for those toe arms. also my rear wheels are 12" and right now they are sitting like very close to stock shock so i afraid they might hitting those coilovers
