About your adjustable front lower arms... - Drifting forum

It seems they're not compatible with tein tension rods as they do not have removable bolts where they fix onto the adjustable arm

I've read the description in the shop again and to be fair I read it as "You need adustable tension rods" and not "You need our adjustable tension rods" As it actually says

So, From the pictures it's hard to tell if your orange tension rods will fit - I assume they will, or do I need the ultimate carbon ones?

Cheers

You need the orange ones

Either that or bash the studs out of the Tein ones - if you can.

yeah I tried that for about 3 hours yesterday evening

Ordering the orange ones the noo

EDIT: Nil stock

Carbon ones it is then

Doh forgot about the orange ones! Carbon ones are a touch thicker, they're a tight squeeze in the lower arm bracket but they do go.

Removable bolts etc so, job done!

I was sure you can bash the studs out of a Tein rod

I bashed them out of a pair of D2 front tension rods before they were replaced by DW ones

I've tried believe me... I might try again but if they come out now I'll have bought the new ones for nothing - so best leave them in!
