Nismo Tension Rod
Has anyone had any experience with the Nismo tension rod set? I was just wondering if the Nismo rods were stronger or bigger or anything like that, or if I should just get the Nismo tension rod bushings put in my stock tension rods.
bushings have to be replaced so why bother spending $$$ on nismos stuff when you can spend a little less on tein's and eliminate the bushing.

Man you must love NISMO!!!!
GAH! there is more out there than just nismo. Take a look at Tein's I love mine, or Kazama looks around nismo is not the only answer.
I love it when a newb gets an SR and is like im only getting NISMO and GReddy NOW IM COOL!

Yes, jackass, I know there is other stuff out there, as I am putting in Tein hard tie rods and Whiteline sway bars right now. I have looked at Kazama, Tein, and JIC Magic T/C rods. They are all well over $200. There is quite a large markup on most Nismo parts, so it makes them an affordable option for me. Now if you want to go ahead and flame, have at it. I am not a newb, just trying to get peoples opinions on parts.

That newb comment was not directed to you.
Its just a statement.

I just see to many people that get a 240 and say "Im only going to buy NISMO!!!" Just because they want to be SUPER JDM.
Buy what works/fits your budget and what you like.
I apologise if I offended you.
