I got tein tie rods and tie rod ends still in their box. I could sell you them since my wheels are too big to have spaced out tie rods.

sidewalk surfing is bad! mtn drifting is bad! unless u dont mind the risks... but anywas, just wonderin if anyone tried those eBay tie rods. I was lookin at them too... otherwise the only place to get rods and those Kazama tie rod ends are at Phase2Motortrend [http://www.store.yahoo.com/phase2motorsports/adjustablerods.html] huh?

^ what size wheels are you running? im running 16x8 with 205/55/16 (i know a little to big of a sidewall but i got em cheap). how much are would you be willing to sell them for? just interested in the rods cause i wanna get solid ends.

I just got those put on. They look beefy and pretty colors too. just make sure the alignment shop knows about performance rods, I had to have mine done twice because the first guys thought they weren't adjustable. The sleeve thingy that connects the endlinks to the rod has the same thread direction both ways, but a different pitch so tiny adjustments can be made.

All tie rods are adjustable :confused:

stock s14 tie rods + KTS tie rod ends is what I'm using. the kts ones are identical to the kazama ones but they're blue instead of red. i've never had problems with bending tie rods so the stock one was good enough, and the KTS ends are pretty beefy and nice quality.

Tein's are $80 without ends from www.autornd.com
Thats where I bought mine after bending my stock passenger side one.
