Yes if you buy the spl outer tie rods they will only fit z32 inner tie rods so you would have to buy the inner and outer tie rods separatly for a total price of over $400. Or you can get tein inner and outer tie rods for $160 form frsport.com. But then again every one has there own opinions.

I have the SPL V5 tie rod ends and they will work with z32 best for street/grip or you can get Z33 with a spacer for Drift.

They are much beefier than tein tie rods ends.

ok i have a debate about this. i know on the s13's the inner tie rod is weaker than the s14's. i have been looking around about this and i can only find people doing the spl outer and z32 inners on s13. my ? is, is my stock s14 inner tie rod just as strong as the z32's or 33's. because i was reading somewhere (i think it was on wiki) that s13 owners should upgrade to s14 or z32 inner tie rods.....

*****Never Mind**********I answered my own ?

per fr sport about the spl outer rods

These Outer Tie Rod Ends are designed to be used with 90-96 300ZX (Z32) or 03+ 350Z (Z33) inner tie rods on the 240SX. The Z32 or Z33 inner tie rods are much stronger than the stock 240SX tie rods, are relatively cheap and easily sourced, and provide for a much larger range of toe adjustment than the stock 240SX inner/outer tie rod setup.

the only bad thing about z33 or z32 rods is they are way shorter then s14 rods soo if you do a knuckle upgrade such as ma motorsports or powerd by max steering knucles you may not get as much angle as you want to acheeve but we will see i have a knuckle kit on the way the z33 inners are deffffffffffffffff super thing compared to oem
