S13 front traction rods...your choice?

[xekushnr]

Like many high mileage S13 owners my front T/C rod bushings are shot to hell. In lieu of just replacing the bushing and having to burn the old ones out and press the new ones in I just decided to buy new rods with bushings. What do you all recommend? What would you not recommend to your worst enemies or in-laws? Lemme know!

[adrianfromthecastle]

traction rods aren't the same as tension rods, fyi.

either way, go SPLparts.com for both traction and tension rods...

there aren't. Tension rods are up front. iirc, T/C rods = Tension control

Traction rods are in the rears, its the front arm in the rear wheel well.

Yeah i meant tension rods. For some reason its one of those things that makes me say one things when I mean another.

kind of like when your girl says "i love you" and instead of saying something to reassure her that you do care but aren't 100% sure if you feel the same way, you say "that's nice"? yeah, i know what you mean.

Tito, youre awesome. And part of the reason why I'm upset I cant spend as much time on here right now.

I got the *Isis tension rods. I never heard about them, but this car is really not in the sort of condition to be able to road race. I was just looking for a better than stock replacement. Thanks for the input guys.

[ShereKhan]

besides the powdercoat being pretty light and easily comes off the isis arms are all pretty good and rather cheap. good choice

SPL and PBM both make great arms, and they both have awesome customer service.
