ok so ive been tooling around for a little while looking for some information and i havent really found squat.I am wanting to tighten up my front end, steering, response, yadda yadda.Obviously 14 year old ball joints and tie rod ends arent going to cut it so replacements are on the list.For the ball joints and ends i was just goin to go with OEM replacements from Oreillys (MOOG I believe)So that leads me to question #1 i dont drift or Auto X, just some spirited backroads every now and then, for ends should i need to go with Spl or Peak or Tein, if so what are the benefits over OEM replacement.#2 are inners necessary or will i see any improvement( more stable feel?... etc) as my OEM arent bent or anything. #3 I also plan on doing control arm bushings and tension rodsAre there any other options i should consider? sorry if i sound like a noob i just havent found much info. So feel free to shed some light or flame away, Thanks!

First thing I did on my suspension was put on new T/C rods and a powerbrace...noticed an immediate improvement which got me addicted and committed to replacing every old and worn out part on the cars suspension. Do it man! On the tie rods I just got new OEM parts and they are holding up just fine.
