I purchased a set of s14 tension rods from a reputable dealer on Zilvia. They seem to be short??

Here is the arm Completely compressed

Here it is completely extended. Notice it is still shorter than the OEM tension rod.

Spin that middle nut counter clock wise and it will extend some more.

note that i said the arm was completely extended, as in cant come out anymore without the end coming out of the rod

Still could be S13 rods, they're an inch shorter OE. Maxxing out the adjustment just to get them to fit isn't right.

Mmmm, I thought that aftermarkets were usually if not always designed to work on both?

Sometimes. Stillen's rods for example are S13/Z32 only. They work on an S14 but they're at their limit just to fit.

Ah, double checking with the dealer sounds necessary for the OP then. Speaking of which, what in the world brand are those? I can't seem to find them
