Very technical question for you guys. I have searched but havent really found the answer. This is the problem my wheels are backed up about an inch, do to a negative caster. Since the front wheels can not be adjusted with the stock suspension. (I think someone hit the curb with the 2 front wheels and that is why they are backed up but equally) So, I know JIC Magic makes Pillow Tension Rods, with a slight adjustable caster. I want to know if the Nismo Tension rods have the caster adjustment. Both products can be found here http://srswap.com/ And I want to know why is the JIC three times the price of the Nismo rods.

i suggest you do it right and find out what is bent and needs replacing. Im replacing all of my rear suspension for 250$ from a junkyard.

I looked at the picture of the Nismo T-Rods. They are not adjustable. There is no nut on there for length adjustment.

yeah, something is bent. do the other stuff after you replace the bent part. it may be the whole unibody in which case you should just take the car to a body shop and have them put it on a frame rack.
