Well i had my car up on the lift today and i noticed my front lower tension rods are completly SHOT! Things definitly need to be replaced so im going to get some adjustable tension rodw with spherical bearings.....just wondering if anyone knows a good site/store to order em from. I saw some on ebay the are going for like 140 and i saw the sames ones on a website for 150 (nissancourtesyparts)....but im not sure how good the quality is....but im pretty broke right now cause i had to pay for all my z32 brake stuff so i want to find some for around 140-180....so ebay or anyone know a better place?

Are they leaking a fluid out of the bushings? Check SPL Parts. I would rather buy from them than ebay.

spl all the way!

Mine are Uber shot too, and I like the stuff they got for some reason. Maybe because I know some ex-employees.

SPL Adjustable front tension rods are only $162. I would trust SPL over Ebay crap.

They support NICO, and the $162 is a shipped price btw.

Tell Kuah you are from NICO if you order.
