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.

TEIN = 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!

The Nismo rods look the same to me compared to stocks, except for the Nismo hard bushing. If you want to go just hard bushing, save money and get some whiteline inserts for your stocks. If you want rigid suspension, get pillowballs from Tein or elsewhere - probably still save $ over the Nismo ones.

The only reason I look at Nismo stuff first is because I get it all at cost being my dad works at a Nissan dealership. 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.

Whoa whoa whoa hold up buddy.

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

Yes i am a jackass.

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.
