Investing in some new tie rods soon… any reccomendations? Trying to keep it cheap… so whatever gives you the most bang for the buck I guess but is reasonably priced.

I only know of two: OEM and Tein. The Teins are supposed to be stronger, so if plan on doing some heavy drifting/autox/road racing etc. they would probably be best

I just replaced mine with Moog tie rods and they seem fine. PDM racing also sells them so they can’t be too bad. 🙂

Check out JIC, I’m pretty sure they make them, and they are beefier
than the Teins.
