i went to take my s13 for allignment and they told me that i need tie rods. i thought of gettin the stock ones, but then i decided to look into aftermarket ones. i just need some tie rods that are as good as stock or a bit better but at a good price. i found some on the nopi website for the same price as the stock ones from nissan dealer. do you guys have any other ideas or suggestions about this? should i get aftermarket or just keep em stock. i do autocross and road race so..

I'd get aftermarket... I picked up some Kazama inner and outer tie rods at the same time.

Outer tie rods - attaches to the knuckle and has the ball joint seal that usually bursts on folks.

inner tie rod - the shaft that rotates around and is attached to the rack.

Change the inner and outer tie rods at once along with the dust boot for the tie rods. It'll save time later on.
