Trying to setup my S14 to compete in DSP class. Right now I have a blown bushing on one of my tension rods. It needs to be replaced.

Is it worth upgrading, or should I just get stock?

If I upgrade, what's the best value/performance combo?

The best performance regardless of cost?

Thanks.

 

Its a TC rod. How can one aftermarket one perform any different than another? If you want adjustable caster, get some aftermarket ones. If not, just replace the bushings...

 

get an aftermarket one. the stock ones are silicone filled and suck. a full metal to metal contact will not give during cornering. plus you can pick them up off of ebay for cheap now. definiately worth the money.

 

i just finished upgrading my stock with JIC tension rod. It was great, seem to handle better... it's worth of replacing them..
