Suspension arms & tension rods thread

Hey guys i wasnt able to find any good information in search so wanted to make a thread devoted to suspension arms and tension rod components and everything in between, post your experience from install to ride quality anything you want to spread information on what you have. I am in need of tension rods currently for the bushing is badly ripped and causes the steering wheel to shake severly while braking. I've been searching many sites for them, the prices range from $350 to about $60 and i havent read any good reviews about any of the products. It doesn't look like a hard process to make tension rods or suspension arms, seems like the material is the most important factor aside from fitment.

I like seeing a product that offers a warranty just makes me feel all warm an fuzy a company isnt looking shady. I like seeing where a product is made, lots of products ive seen they hide the fact they were made in Taiwan or even some made in USA.

Im gonna start from the bottom an go up from the products I've seen.(Tension Rods)

1. Ebay/no name $50-$69: these are cheap as hell price wise, dont look bad at all, and some even offer a warranty. Im really curious if anyone has had experience with these. I'm leaning toward these because im on a budget and dont think it's hard to get this kinda thing wrong. Just a speculation looking for people who have had good or bad experiences.

2. God Speed Racing, Megan Racing, ISIS, Circuit Sports, or etc...$70-$115+:
These products looks great an many offer warranty, i have never bought from any of them before but look worth trying. I know of a few people that work with GSP and they have many products that make me want to spend a fortune on. Many of the products seem under priced and too good to be true. That goes for the the rest of the brands I have named.

3. SPC, Power By Max, Tein...$160-$350: I have had personal experience with SPC on my Civic. Great product, Great fitment, and decent price range.
LOVE PBM and Tein Products but why so expensive!?

Also interested in whole set suspension arms and tension rods as well, Ebay ones are about $200, ISIS and Megan Racing goes for less then $400.
My S14 is a daily and I dont feel i need to get every thing but i have been thinking of having fun at the track every now and then.

Please post any helpful information. websites, contacts, hook ups, or whatever! Thanks!
