    Think they are doing the Kazama ones soon, but they only fit with Tein rods IIRC.

    We have 30 sets of our own anti bump steer tie rod ends awaiting delivery of the final component. They are massively stronger than anything else we've seen on the market (Kazama, IkeyaFormula, Tuneagent etc). These are not copies, they have taken many many many days of our time to design and manufacture, and will be available for S13, S14, and Tein Tie rods.. :)

    I should be able to give you guys a completion date tomorrow :)

    good good.

    will these need to be used with Tein or other tie rods?

    a stronger one would be good since i've busted one already, but i'm not sure if i have the wonger for the tie rods too. could be on the cards tho.

    We're making a couple of different fitments so they will go with standard rods or Teins

    Im guessing the only down side being that if you buy the DW ends for the stock rods then upgrade to the Tein rods at some point in the future, you would need to buy the DW ends with Tein fitment. Goes without saying really.

    There would be a very cheap way to solve this, we'll be offering all the bits seperatly for those that are good at hitting walls etc :wack:, so all you would need is the different threaded hex section :)
