View Full Version : Need some Advice
Alright yesterday I ended up breaking a tension rod, bent my transverse link and my lower control arm.. by hitting a post.. Most of you are curious how I did this I was drifting down some back roads.... and slid into a ditch and clipped a post(long story short).. but I'm contemplating on Buying aftermarket tension rods will it benefit to me more then factory tension rods will, not performance wise but bringing my alignment back to normal and such?
(forgive the grammar) BTW I didnt have my bumpers or fenders on at the time....

I had SPL Version 1's on my last car for 2 years. I bought them used, history was unknown, but yeah, even for the oldest earlier models, the tension rods kicked ass. Super beefy, and the threads never bind! So easy to adjust. I love it
Not to mention, SPL stuff hold their value!

splparts.com is the only way to go.
You have a spare lower control arm?
Another vote for SPL, that is what the late great S13 had

Battle Version and SPL get my vote. I have Battle Version because I got a good price on them and I trust the name and build quality. If the price would have been the same I would have gone for SPL V2 rods.
