I was just looking through that mag project car today and they built up a pretty nice s14 sr. I saw they had changed some suspension and for the tension rods they ran a set from a company called stk. I personally never heard of em but I googled it and they can be bought from phase 2 motor trend for like 108 bucks. has anyone ever used these or heard of em? I'm in the market for tension rods and most likely going with spl or tein. just looking for some input..

They're actually really good rods made by a small shop. Their parts are tested on a few drift cars, so they do actually see some use.

They also make rotors too if I remember right :P

That is our company product. the tension rods is made by thick dome mild
steel body which is really really strong. and its made in USA . not china .
anyway. I dont know why they put STK not shutoko.......

are they pillow ball tension rods or do they require bushings? i went to the shutoko website and saw nothing on tension rods.

make new website soon!! anyway u can get the tension rods

They actually look decent. I question the use of steel in a part that doesn't really need it, but it looks like the quality is there.

I'm with Def here. By "thick dome" do you mean the cross-section?

You'll have to excuse Alan.. He's a total FOB. I can't understand him speaking half the time either....
