How are SPL tension rods on slammed cars??

[OM3GA]

Im about ready to order these, However now im concerned that since they are so much thicker than the rest of the tension rods out there are they going to hit the sway bar? My cars pretty low and clearance there is minimal already.. I do not have time to play around with otherwise sure id buy them myself and see if they clear... Just tryin to get feedback from anyone who has them or has seen them on low cars.

PBM makes a special tension rod for slammed cars. Get it.

My car's pretty damn low and my beefy sway bar/Nismo power brace/SPL tension rods don't have any conflicts.

No they dont. They are straight just like any other tension rod. You're probably referring to their toe rods.

And to the OP: I have SPL tension rods as well as the brake duct plates and the only clearance issue I had was the brake duct plates being only a couple inches off the ground. Bent the plate a little and I've been problem-free ever since. Hope that helps.

That's what I thought too. Some other companies also make bent toe rods.

Can you take a picture of your front where the tension rods are? I want to see it when the cars on the ground just how close is it to the sway bar, Also how low your car is..Thanks!

Ok, I hope this helps you. Sorry for the picture quality. It's almost midnight and it's hard enough to get a camera jabbed in there, let alone trying to hold a flashlight on the area. Because of this, I took a whole lot of pictures, hoping that helps in some way.

This is the only picture I have that shows where my car sits off the ground. It's pretty low, but not "OMG SUPER SLAMMED."













As you can tell, clearance is pretty tight, but there is a little room. It's at a weird angle to really show the gap, I tried to jam the camera in there for a couple. I guess it depends on your sway bar and how low your car is.

Damn Awesome pics! I was just in a crazy car accident tonight i just got home from the hospital, basically understeer in the mountains and slide down the mountain rolled once completely and was stopped by a tree. I Was the passenger in my friends car, my side was crushed pretty bad and i broke the passenger window with my head. The car still has useable parts on it so were going to be looking for a shell. I just want to feel not sore again haha.

Anyways back to the topic, I really think those will hit on my car haha they are HUGE! and my car is lower than that, The control arms are angled crazy!
