The grease fitting is nice... I'd rather be able to re-grease my rod ends rather than have to replace them from wear. Same reason people buy Moog tie rod ends instead of OEM.

I see those on eBay all the time. One thing that worries me is that they state they fit '89-'98 when everyone else uses two different parts for S13s and S14s... so something's up.

I don't know anyone that's currently using these specific rods.

Difference between s13 and s14 tc rods are the s14 one's are longer. You CAN get s13 adjustable one's to fit by lengthning the rod itself. I know people that have done this without problems.

Just FYI
