Finally I have completed my suspension! I still have to install these, have allignment done, and lower it even more...but at least I have these things to stare at...
Some info on these:Tension rods are Battle Version made for S14Toe arms are Orange Tree (budget version made by Battle Version) made for S13Not pictured are washers to be used on the toe arms to make up 1cm difference on the bushing side.I allready have JIC upper control arms on the car.
Expect some pics in the next few days...gotta get over my cold before I can install these.
New suspension goodies are here!

Re: New suspension goodies are here! (Dark Anghell)
Well a dissapointing update:The rear toe arms went in without any problems, so I should have my allignment done sometime soon and post the pics of my final stance.
The tension rods...apparently the person I bought these from (e-bay) listed them as S13/S14, but after installation I found out the hard way that there's a difference. The S14 arms are shorter, so when I extended them to the right lengh and tried to drive on them, the rod came apart because it was holding on by last threads...After contacting phase2motortrend, they verified my conclusion that these things have 2 different part numbers. Hopefully the guy on e-bay will do the right thing and refund me my money since he made a mistake on advertising these things. Then I have to find a new set...apparently a local shop has Tein ones in stock, so I will probably go with those instead.

You might be able to do that, but I think it will be a pain in the butt to get the old ones out. I would suggest to either get OEM or spend a little more to get aftermarket ones.
Oh and yes, the S13 will fit for sure...jic has them listed for our car.
Update on the problem/issue: the person I bought these from is going to have this resolved sometime next week. They have another set of these inside the shop, so they will verify which car they are made for, and exchange the ones I got for the right ones. So overall I have no problem waiting another few weeks...
Oh and my old tension rods are shot! Upon closer inspection I saw tears going all along the side that faces the front of the car and the fluid that was inside was now all over the arm itself. Definately need replacing...
