SPL tension rods

[BryanGrigsby]

I installed these. Easy as ****. Dont sneeze on the steering wheel, you might find yourself in a ditch. lol.

Seriously, they looked awesome, very easy install, and you can get that brake air thing to cool you brakes. Waiting on an alignment. I will post driving imprsessions after I get the car back, but first spin around the 'hood and steering was very prescise. Makes you realize how sloppy it was before.

I agree!!!! Very worthwhile install. NO MORE TENSION ROD BUSHINGS, WooT

I like mine alot. Get an aligment soon though.

This is what I installed, everything was SPL. A lot of things changed, Tension Rods contributing...

This thing is sick, handling is awesome. As far as tension Rods, steering is very smooth and precise. The guy that aligned it for me at the dealerhsip was impressed.

I did all the following you did except RUCA and I went with Silk Road coilover. I did it all this spring. I have to say the car is 100% better. I do need upgraded swaybars now.

Yeah that and some strut tower braces.

Check this out. Got this from friscomix.com. It was from a drift event and in all fairness **** breaks when drifting. Just thought it was interesting, no denying that it is an SPL tension rod.

Actually taking a second look at the pictures from this website of these guys drifting, it was brutal. Looks like a couple of cars didn't drive out of there.

That's not an SPL tension rod.



Notice how the shank is larger than the nut, on those broken tension rods the shank is not as big.

Plus I don't see any threaded holes for the brake ducts.

Yeah...I think your right. I wonder who the manufacturer is. It does look very similar though, the actual colored rod part.

Sorry, didn't mean to incorrectly call SPL out on a broken part. The adjusting nut is much larger. My mistake.

I still love you guys. I want to mention that all the parts I installed have finally broken in, especially the coilovers. It was a little stiff from the get go but it is very nice now. I have the dampening set at about 8-7 clicks clockwise. I also took it in for a second alignment after everything settled, and man is it a corner carver. Very satisfied!
