My car is tweaked from a hard life of drift duty. My isis tension rods don't have enough adjustment for my needs. PBM is sold out at the moment and ive got deadlines to make. What brand has the next highest level of adjustability?

The short answer is PBM or similar FLCA/Tension rod combo.

But the best options are listed as follows(this does not include hard to find and custom brands)
Straightening out your car, PBM FLCA/Tension rod combo, used PBM, saying fuck your deadlines and waiting for new PBM tensions

. Then SPL, Kazama, Tein, Cusco, are all about the same amount of adjustability. I have the Tein, they are decent and seem a little better than the ISIS I have looked at in terms of adjustability

Dammit. I was afraid of that. Pbm needs to step up their production game. Always fuckin sold out.

It may be not as good as PBM, but as far as i can tell i got good results from circuit sport components (tbh they look better than isis stuff, material and welding wise)

S13 and S14 tension have different length, so make sure you get an S13 one if you got an S13. The S14 one will fit but you wont be able to run much caster with it.

I am pretty sure your isis is the S14 length, so if you want more caster ... just use a grinder and be done with your deadline

They are always sold out the first few months of drift season because their game is stepped up, everyone wants their stuff. And its not like these guys are a huge plant in china somewhere pumping out these things left and right.

Im only looking for tension rods right now. I have the pbm v1 knuckle kit and I recently put a lot of time and effort into my control arms gusseting them and doing the adjustable bump stops. Im only looking for tension rods right now.
