I have tein tie rods and ends on my s14.The question is, does anybody know what other ends would fit on the tein tie rods? I want heim joint ends because they wont wear out like the rubber ones.

I think the kazama ones will, KTS makes some also, just get the Z32 or S14 threading..those should work, IIRC. I'd ask phase-2 or SPL about it directly to be sure.

Are you serious? Those TEIN ball joints won't wear out for a LONG time. DOn't worry about it, unless you've got money burning a hold in your pocket, and can't think of a better way to spend 150 dollars...

KTS and Kazama are the same thing... they both suck. I've seen the rod ends bend and the rod end itself is small.

Z32 Threading is different and the rods are shorter than S14 inners.

SPL sells rod ends for the S14 inners.

I just ordered some Moog rods & ends the today. Might not be the very best, but its gonna be a whole lot better than the torn up 14 yr old OE rod ends

rubber ends will outlast heim jointed ends, you shouldnt buy solid rod ends if all you are looking for is durability.
