I'm looking for tie rod and tie rod end. I was looking at tein one but I heard some one saying that tein tie rod end snaps if it is drifted.

How bad is tein when it is put under stress through autox and drifting? I see it at around $160 which seems to be resonable.

What other brands do you recommand?

i havent heard anything like what you said about the tein tie rods, but i can tell you that my friends and i have had experience using thier products, and each part has surpassed my expectations. tein is one of the top names in suspension, and most my suspension parts on the 240 will be tein and SPL. maybe somebody with a tein tie rod will be able to give you a little insight.

tein is just the name

if you look at the tie rods of tein, it looks almost stock

then look again on spl and kazama, it's longer for what it is claimed to do

get spl, not because they are sponsor, because I don't care abotu that. but their customer service is good in addition to most people on zilvia vouch behind their product
