So, I'm undecided on whether to grab some Peaks inner and outer tie rods, or Circuit Sports ones for the S13. Just lookin for some input from you guys, or which ones you would recommend. If you've owned either of these, how'd you like em?

What this guy said.

You can't go wrong with them. Great quality and not a bad price. They can also be serviced here if need be. Kuah is an awesome guy and easy to talk to. He'll answer any have. Plus you can upgrade later.

i myself generally like to look for the cheapest best parts.

but even I (cheapskate mcgee) turned my nose up at the circuit sports because they look cheap.


just get SPL. do you really want a rod snapping on you and your car tumbles into a ditch.

I'm super confused as to how anyone could possibly be trying to compare Peak to Circuit Sports. lol

TCSportline for those who are looking for quality at a low cost or even Powered By Max. i'm sure if you use the search button on particular brands, you can get feedbacks from each one. so start researching!

I saw on a blog that this guy ran Maxima inners with Jetta outers, ran the Jetta outers to correct excessive caster since theyre offset, can anybody give us the part numbers on that?

I'm going to be running Maxima inners and VW Golf outers soon, to help with my binding problems with too much caster.

So are my Tien's (inner and outer)total shit? I don't race my car. My old rods didn't pass inspection and I found the Tien's like 3 yrs ago for a good price...SO Should I be checking these things everyday for bending????? I've got SPL for my rear end links (toe and camber adjust) , they do make some great quality parts.

CS is junk, if you want some CS outers, I'd sell you mine for $20 bux and you pay for shipped.....

Thanx for all the input guys, I actually posted this question for a friend who doesn't have an account on here, I myself have Tein, and I love them.

But I think he might end up goin with Peaks, he doesn't usually beat on his car very often.

Ok here is the end all...

Comparison between CS, Kazama, Megans, and probably peaks vs. The King SPL Rods

In reference the red one is Kazama....Already has play in 6 months...

IF you run tein you might has run moog outters... Not that big of a difference from stock, but if you are lowered, you can't adjust for bumpsteer...

I really doubt that Peak and CS tie rod ends are the same, being that Peak uses Aurora heims on all their arms.

The two numbers on the box are “63433″ and “OE Ref:6N0 422 812″

The street rods look pretty close to stock or even moogs are better with the zerg fittings.... The pro looks nice but I dun think they are aurora cause they have that funking angle on it

They may use Aurora heim joints, but that isn't what broke on my car.

I was PARKING my car and the actual shank broke.

If you go onto Ziptied and read what Kuah wrote about the R&D that goes into his suspension arms you'll know why they're the best.

Umm well Tien tie rods for and S13 are pretty much same size as stock skyline gts-t's??? You could run those or Z32 with an angle spacer. I have a skyline so I got some kazama inners and outers running the same ones for 2 years now. You could even try bings.ca lots of guys in canada running their cars hard with no problems with any parts for 3 years.


Also there was lots of guys in canada using peak performance snapping their tie rods I don't know if I would trust them??
