Hey, just wondering if anyone had any experience with Circuit Sports Tension Rods. I'm in the market to replace my bushings there, but I heard that it was better to just replace the whole thing. I've heard mixed things for Megan, so I was wondering if the Circuit Sports ones were a better alternative.

I have the SPL tension rods. From the research I've done I believe SPL makes the best suspension components. I have there tie rods as well. Check out there site http://www.splparts.com it's good stuff. Peak performance makes good stuff too. Haven't seen a lot of people with circuit sports stuff.

honestly.. I'd say CS arms and megan arms are at about the same level. Neither one to me stands out more than the other...

they will however get the job done.

but like Enlefo said... if you want a significant upgrade that's both visible and proven... SPL is the way to go. There are other brands that are in the same level as SPL (i.e. battle version, peak performance)... but then again, don't be expecting to pay megan/ circuit sports prices as theyre almost twice the price, but probably also twice the strength and reliability.

Thanks for the responses guys, I think I'm actually just going to replace the bushings for right now...dont really have the 200 for new TC rods, and I have the means to replace the bushings easily, but thanks for future reference!

One of the CS tension rods snaped on me. The weak point is the aluminum part of the tension rod.
