Hi guys I was checking out Tie Rod for my Z and I see this Tein one:

Tein Tie Rod & Ends Nissan 350Z Infiniti G35 Coupe
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tein-Tie-Rod...c11698&vxp=mtr

It claims "TEIN Tie Rods and Ends are designed for incresaed steering angle at full lock, and added strength. Can be set to produce 18% more steering angle than factory rod and ends, or retain factory steering angle. TEIN Tie Rods are an average 32% stronger than OE rods, as the rod is larger in diameter for increased rigidity. "

I wonder anyone here use it and does it really increase steering angle and strength comparing to the OEM ones? What about the other after market ones are they good too for the price you pay???

 

Do you need an inner or outer?

 

what's your purpose?
tein for drifting
spl for the track (only need outer)
oem for street

 

great answer. /thread

 

I am saying it is only US$200 for both inner and outer it is going to last longer than OEM is it worth it? Or should I just buy aftermarket inner and outer? I know the OEM inner and outer is not that much cheaper comparing to the Tein. Just normal use for me is it worth to spend that money and will it last longer than OEM?

 

I got Megan Racing tierods and they are great.

 

I have the Tein and I don't drift.

With that said... I want the SPL's.

 

Good answer.

 

Why is that?

 

i have tein inner and outer. no question they are thicker and therefore probably a bit stronger,but the increase in steering angle is fairly minimal. if you need new ones go for it, otherwise meh...

 

SPL is great for reducing bumpsteer on any lowered Z, so for street I do recomend them.

 

No more than brand loyalty. PowerFab ordered the Tein when I was under the impression they ordered the SPL's. No biggie.

 

OK so the Tein outer and inner Tie Rods are worth to spend the money than getting the not much cheaper OEM Tie Rods right? But steering angle not big of a different???

 

I have tein inner and outter rods on a street car...they are great but i knew i didn't need them. Just buy some oem replacements

 

Gotcha.
