Here we prefer Powertrix, a great product and service second to none.
They are a vendor here as well, easy to contact.
Good Luck!

Best quality, SPL, without a doubt. Best value, Power trix.

Possibly true as the SPL unit is very nice, but then again the tension rod has a pretty easy and straightforward job so overspending there for SPL is for the track guys only IMO, and of course any fanbois...

I'm NOT bad mouthing PowerTrix product, I would use them on my car, but no comparison to SPL.
I have replaced 4 PT tension rods due to rusting and joints seizing, all have the rubber boots on them deteriorate. OP wants the "best", gotta pay for it.

On the note of tension rods. Whats the signs one is worn out? And is a alignment needed after replacement

[rgregoryb]

Leaking from the large fluid filled bushing. They were not adjustable from the factory do make the adjustables the same length. Or you can just replace the bushing ( OEM and some others require pressing in and out. The tension rods only effect caster which will not cause wear on the tires.

So if i replaced them with let's say the nismo ones. Alignment wouldn't be needed.? But if i replaced them with adjustables alignment will be? And if i went the Nismo route would that cure a pull

[rgregoryb]

It should not correct a pull, it causes wobble at high speed braking, clunking sound when stopping and accelerating. Anytime I change something in the suspension I have the alignment checked. Tires are expensive.

Weird... The only thing out of wack on my front alignment is the caster and i have a pull to the passanger side and on the back camber is alil out on both sides but still in spec?

Sorry I missed it so long, PO- I edited your post title for spelling.

[LIBRILZ]

If using Nismo or stock bushings, alignment shouldn't remain the same. The stock rods have zero adjustment in them so you can't align anything caster related anyways
