I was looking to upgrade my tension and tie rods from the stock ones. Does anyone know what a good quality not too expensive brand would be and where to order (if online)?

thanks a lot!

yes many brands including tein and jic, like cusco, kazama, ikeya formula, I believe tanabe makes them as well.

i would defintaly go with SPL for the tension rods, i cheaped out and im kicking myself now. or you could always replace the bushings

i just recieved my tein tie rods today they look nice not as nice as the SPL's wich i didnt order b/c i dont think i need anything that beefy

that is one sexy 14 you have there

I just put this picture together of anyone wondering what one of the most common setups that ppl do in here isIts the Tein S-Tech springs with the KYB AGX shocks

Thanks man, still a lot of work going into it though. i'll get some more pix up of the progress. nice S14 too.

yeah i was thinking of either Tein or Cusco but looking at options now. where the Tein's expensive? looked at the SPL's and the shipping is going to be nuts to me..... we'll see

I have KYB GR-2's in the back with Tein S-Tech springs in front and back. damn smooth ride. i'll either get GR-2's in the front as well or just get a nismo kit for both.
