Yes, but why would you buy Tein rod ends? They're the same design as stock.

Just get MOOG.

Dude the moogs are great from what I have read on them. And yeah the Teins are stronger but basiclly the same ish as stock. I just replaced my stock and went with circuit sports. Im happy with them and I only paid $145 for both inners and outers. Look into them

The Tein tie rode and ends are pretty strong and cheap.
It is wise to get two of them at the same time. They go for
$160 for both the tie rod and tie ends (inner and outter)

Not true, they're threaded just like S14 outer tie rods.

In short you can use S14 inner tie rods to mate up to these.

IIRC, the tein ones are the same as S14 ends and rods. The steering rack uses em both with no compromises.

I forget, but couldn't we also use z32 rods with S14 ends? I remember reading it somewhere/seeing it done/done it with friends, but i forget.

ANd if you want more angle, just buy the angle spacer from SPL.

yes. that is if you have an s13...(durr..)
Tein are pretty strong. I havent had any issues with them yet, and i do a lot of driving at the track.

I'm getting tein z33 tie rods which fit on SPL's arms (either the z32 OEM or z33 teins fit) :D teh s3x of tightness and strength lol, no gay jokes please. They are strong built and worth it.

Btw stay away from moog tie rod ends, garbage of garbage. I bent mine ever so fast. I regret getting them and not spending a tiny bit more on SPL's stuff. It's better than stock, but if you are going to abuse the car, forget it... Buddy of mine did the same, got moogs, regretted, but I guess everyone has different experiences...

After installing coilover, do you need to get the Tein tie rod ends to get the front toe back in spec for an alignment? Also is there room for any adjustment with the Moog Tie Rod ends? Reason I ask because I already have Moog Tie Rod ends, and don't want to buy the teins if I don't need to, inorder to get the toe in spec.

Thanks in advance!!

inner tie rods allow for toe adjustment, stock, tein, etc doesn't really matter unless it is some crazy inner

Hey thanks, for the quick response.. I guess what I am wanting to know is that if I lower the front a little more than it is now with my stance coilovers (Eibach Sportlines Springs on KYB shocks current setup) will the stock tie rods or the moog ones have enough adjustment in them to get the toe within spec??? I realy don't need beefy tie rod ends as I don't drift or realy abuse them, but I was wanting to know if I need them beforehand so I could have them for the install... As I don't want to get to the alignment shop and have them say we can't get the toe in spec and have to add them later and have to take it back to them after... Thanks in advance!!

you should be fine, worst case scenario is you might need to cut off some of the inner tie rod to add more adjustment but i really doubt that will be an issue

SPL uses tein tie rods, thats what I'm using. They make their outter tie rods match the Z33 Tein rods. Their pretty beefy too.

Wait, when I got Tein inners and outers on my S13, I noticed significantly more steering angle than stock. That's why the shop recommended them to me.

What gives?

The tie rod end has nothing to do with alignment, only the tie rod itself. The end just mounts the tie rod to the spindle, all of your adjustment is afterwards.

Ok, thanks so is there enough ajustment in the stock tie rod to get the toe back in spec after lowering the car?? I don't plan to slam the car but lower slightly in the front...

Plenty. You're not changing the toe that much when lowering, and the rod has a good amount of thread on it anyway.
