hey i just got my megan streets installed and took it in today to get them aligned (didnt have time/money to get em professionally tuned). After they were done they told me that because of the coilovers they couldnt adjust my caster.... is adjustable tension rods the only way to fix this?? or is there another way?

i have an 89 240sx btw

Well its not because of the coilovers that you can not adjust the caster...its because the stock tension rods aren't adjustable...

So yes, you will need to buy aftermarket tension rods to be able to adjust caster....

I have Tein tension rods....

Well don't know about the BEST....but i hear good things about SPL's tension rods, Battle Versions...

I stuck with Tein cuz i have Tein HE coilovers and most likely be getting Tein's Tie rods ends too....

But other than that...the 3 name's above is pretty much the cost of them, can't go wrong with them....

Like I said, either SPL or Peak Performance. Everything else is weak in size.
