blktopsr20 · 06-18-2011, 06:23 PM

100 bucks pbm sold out already. you have to wait for the new generations now.

SPL-Hatch · 06-19-2011, 09:22 AM

anyone got any they wanna sell me?

tnd240 · 06-19-2011, 09:39 AM

I have a set of slightly used OEM Tension Rods with Whiteline Bushings pressed into the them - excellent condition; or,

Brand New Tein Units - and they will not be much cheaper than New in Box.

PM for details. I also have an assortment of other New, used, OEM and Aftermarket parts available.

3 Options:

1. Goto the above link and buy JD's stuff

2. SPL PRO SUSPENSION PARTS

Get decent shit, that will last forever, and that you can resell for more than the cost of new ebay shit when you decide to part the car out

or

3.Goto ebay, and buy the cheapest set you can find, as they are all the same beyond SPL and the PBM stuff. Megan/Godspeed/F1speed/Whatever.

I understand you're just looking to replace stock ones, and you're broke. So realistically, get the ebay ones and be happy.

SPL-Hatch · 06-19-2011, 04:47 PM

im seeing if i can pick up a decent set of used tension rods. maybe some nicer stuff since i wouldnt have to pay retail. im not 100 percent broke lol

'used but cheap and good' = broke to me

Just buy new Isis ones through enjuku and be done. This way they may warrenty if it they ever fail.

Get whatever is cheapest, as they all use the same junk. Again, go through Enjuku for the ISIS as they will honor their warrenty.

Cost to much? Or you can't afford them. Big difference. SPL and PBM are top notch parts that will never have issues. That is what you pay for. Then again, 90% of SPL and PBM part owners keep their ars for more than 2 years, so it makes sense. No offense, but don't dismiss their quality.

ive heard of problems with both pbm and spl. like spls pillow balls will rust cause the small rings that cover it dry out and crack real fast and ive heard of stripped out rod ends on pbms. and there is no way all other brands use the same rod ends...

tnd240 · 06-20-2011, 03:13 PM

Whiteline-Pressed Bushings will last.

What is the anticipated use for the application you seek? Track or Street?

I have a set of slightly used OEM Tension Rods with Whiteline Bushings pressed into the them - excellent condition; or,

Brand New Tein Units - and they will not be much cheaper than New in Box.

So youv'e had no personal experience with either, and trust a bunch of inter-tards on their arm chair opinion. SPL is tits, no matter which way you slice it. Got issues, they fix it for you, for free, on their dime.

His budget seems to be of about 17 dollars and 92 cents. If he can't afford ebay junk, and thinks SPL is overpriced, then he's up shits creek.

lol bud you are one of the inter-tards you speak of, from my prospective. what should make me trust you more than them? you seem like a spl nuthugger. plus its not a question of if i can afford ebay junk its the fact that ive done research on multilink arms and i dont want that egay shit... anyway, im picking up a used set of kazama's for a good price an that was my exact intention of this thread. not to pick up ebay shit for even cheaper than fleabay itself
