I was told that Teim Tie Rods are OEM size. This really doesnt bother me, all I care about is that they are stronger than the OEM ones. Has anyone used these before? What are your opinions on them

Tein is known to make great products, and they fit my budget. I just want to make the right choice.

Tein Tie Rods will break if you do something stupid, but I have yet to bend mine. They are a bit bigger and stronger than stock, but if you really want something beefy get URAS or dare I say ikeya formula.

It's an easy install.

I love mine, mainly because my old tie rod ends were pretty worn so steering feel improved. Also the added angle in the spacers is great if you use it :).

from what i was told the angle spacer is used for drifters. For grip type driving, dont add them.

I dont drift that hard, I am not that good yet. I do autoX more than I drift though, so the spacer might be an issue.

The OEM one bent when I spun REALLY hard. I dont want the same thing to happen again

The spacers wont really matter if you dont use them.. So throw em in just to make it easier to make u-turns and parallel park :).

My teins have taken a lot of abuse, and no bends.

you also forget the JIC tie rods. all of those are incredibly beefy.

You really don't notice the spacers until you turn full lock. Its amazing how little space I need to make a u-turn now! I have not felt any drawbacks to having spacers in at all and I drive grip as much as drift.
