are they of good quality? i have seen more and more of their products as they start hitting the us, but i have no testamonials.

i was thinking about getting the tension rods of theirs. but i was wondering if the quality was on par with tein and/or cusco. does anyone have any opinions on these products? any help would be appreciated

i was tempted to go tein due to the tein he's i have coming in the mail, so i figured i should go tein as much as i could.

also, all of these brands tension rods are adjustable correct?

i think the Kazama tension rods are actually the same as the Cusco ones. i would buy Kazama pats if i had the money.

Well considering Kazama's s15 super lap time was either 57" or 59" their first time out...I'd say they know what they are doing. I like them a lot and my kazama mounts should be coming here in the next week.

http://www.240sxforums.com/for...11700

and it is being sold through raretrick.comhttp://www.raretrick.com/index...=6796

i hope you guys look into it and buy it. the more you buy, the more i will save. :) by the way, it ends on the 4th

swift drift : maybe raretrick gets these parts through option imports

bbandit have the tension rods made a difference in how you car feels or handles. I want to get some for my car but have been trying to decide if the are worth it on a stock suspension.

the cusco tension rods feels good.. especially when combined with the kazama TC rods... i can feel it eventhough its not that drastic..but it does give you the senses of having a more rigid/solid steering responses.. and overall.. yes.. they helped, especially at autoXbut then again.. i have coilovers

i never had them before i got my coilovers...

but seeing the way you drive.. i dont think you need anything on your car man.. you drove quite fast that day.. i had a hard time catching up :ylsuper

i suggest.. getting a VLSD... now that... you can feel a LOT of difference

I think I got what you said mixed up. Do you have Kazama toe control arms and Cusco tension rods?

I'd get a LSD but i don't have enough money. That's one of the reasons I thought of getting tension rods. They're not that expensive and the bushings on my stock rods are completely worn out.

the Kazama TC rods come with boots over the pillow balls. Battle Version TC rods do not.

I am installing a set of Tein TC rods on my wife's 240 probably today or tomorrow along with a HICAS rear swaybar and I will let you know how it feels since the car is otherwise stock.

Bbandit, you still wanna help out?

GREAT! please let me know how they are. my decision is between tein/kazama. is there any difference between the 2?

also, why does the cusco t/c rod have this funky piece of metal on it? do they all have that? would it be worth paying for cusco to have it? thanks
