Is a caster rod the same thing as a tension rod?

[jptalaga]

so i just got an alignment done on my s14 at a local shop here in garland tx. they said i need to change my front caster rods. are caster rods the same thing as a tension rod? sorry bout the noob question. but yea any suggestions on what aftermarket rods i should get? id greatly appreciate it =]

[ManoNegra]

sounds like they meant tension rods
and people do change their caster by adjusting their aftermarket ones
I'd recommend you leave your tension rod length stock and look into caster/camber plates

[Darren]

which ones you get really depends on your budget and how low you want to go.... tonnes of options, use google or search and you'll find out lots of info on each of them

well i was thinking about getting aftermarket tension rods for my s14, since im gonna invest on some coilovers soon. should i just buy some stock tension rods or go aftermarket ? im prolly gonna buy some circuit sports coils.

If you have to get them, get aftermarket, don't bother getting stock, especially if you're going to lower it.

As twinspool stated, SPL makes a great set!

Running SPL arms all around on my S13 except the RUCA's.. They did not fit with my TEIN Super Drifts, so I got Powered By Max PRO RUCA's. All those parts are tits! Highly recommend! :boink:
