I have Kazama Outer tie rods, and Tension rods, I have no complaints, except that I wish I had clear coated them so they didn't fade.

Kazama has a good name and so does SPL. Get what's cheaper.

The links are good that I've seen / Heard.


The tie rod outters are the same as the KTS outters, they both suck, I've seen the buckles bend and the rod ends go out...

I'm also looking at kazama stuff. I really need new tie rod ends. I can't decide. Now i really can't decide after reading that they mess up easily. I think im just gonna go stock for now then.

I have the tie parts. As for everything else, just buy from splparts. It's cheaper, and just as strong.

But before you go and start purchacing all these parts, learn what they do; If you don't.

And I hope you have a seat and some type of real diff.

If you're still rocking an open diff and stock suspension, then all these parts you put into your car would be worthless.

And you could've found out all you need to know if you searched. But I won't rant.

i do know what everything does..just wanted to know the build quality of the kazama product line..

my friends have had really good experiences buying from morejapan.. everything came within a few days..pretty quick.

i have old Tanabe DDs, and i love em to death..but i might go in the way of SEVENS or something else, as these are wearing out.

Buy Splparts Kuah rocks and his customer help is great.

But money is still better spent on a diff and a seat.
