how long do your aftermarket tension rods last?

[Monkey Boy]

was wonder how long everyone's are lasting, what brand, and if daily driven.

[KA24DESOneThree]

I've had my SPLs for ~30k miles; since 2005.

Rod ends still have no play, and there's no evidence of rust.

I daily drove it, and it was never garaged. Probably have ~550+ track miles on 'em too.

[brndck]

when my car was still daily, i put about 25k on my tanabes and theres evidence of wear or rust. the jam nuts aren't frozen and the threads are clear of any corrosion.

[importdude]

i think my car's spl are 15k-20k old..
there in good condition cept the front busings are cracked~

Peak Performance:
Daily driven 15k miles so far
One track event
One major hit to the curb

Perfect condition.

My spl tension rods I lost count of mileage because I've had them for so long.


They last forever! haha. Or untill you hit a curb.

You choose.

^ yeah that...

they last as long or longer than your car... don't get into a wreck and u will be fine...

HAHA Kazama's and let me tell you ive abused them.
They have over 20k and still very very good condition.

My friend has had his kazama's for so long they went from red, to pink and now they are turning silvery pink.

Yes, that is me.

I've had them for well over 50k miles, one of them is red, the one that hides from the sun. The one that sees the sun is a silvery pink color.

I think the TC rods are the only thing Kazama ever did right. :Owned:

I have 100k / 50-70 events on my teins. Seem fine just a little dirty.

So most brands should hold up for a very a long time, save smoking a curb or something similar.

Mine will last me till the next time I nail a stationary object with my front end...
