I tested them for Phase 2 they worked Great and the price is perfect on them. Circuit Sport is a really good company they are making quality parts for a good price. I had to take mine back after 6 months so they could send them back. But I got ne ones still kicking ass.

same here i got there tension rods...i tested there new 5 lug conversion hubs...C.s. is good stuff....

I've been wondering about this company for a while. The guys at Phase2 told me that they are good.

inertiaticism · 01-24-2008, 08:03 AM

I'd go with a known commodity like SPL or Battleversion, I could see being willing to take the chance if they were super cheap, but they're not all that much cheaper.
CS does make decent stuff though, seems to be much better in quality that the majority of the chinese made crap.
I use a few of their parts like a shifter and puke can, and have a bunch of their STRi gauges from before they rebranded them and it's all been very good.
Just not sure I'd want to give them a try on something like multilink when it's not that much less.

Cheap multilink parts aren't that great of a deal...

I've done it before, and seriously, I ended up spending TWICE the amount I would've spent on SPL.

Factoring in: ghetto alignment, missing work, ruining a perfectly good pair of tires, getting a NEW replacement part, and getting a REAL alignment after just getting one before.

megan/hardrace/ebay repaints, listen to the spl bandwagoners, but id go with battleversion arms and tein tie rods fuck that pillow ball shit for tie rods isnt spl on version 10 when it comes to tie rods.

MAGILLA · 01-24-2008, 12:00 PM

I forgot who posted it but a while back I asked about inner / out tie rods and some one said that "a hardened inner tie rod will mess up your rack if it gets hit but the stock one will bend and save your rack.which one would you rather replace?"
Long story short, I left it stock and sure enough some butt hole ran me of the road into a curb, and I had to change my tie rod but the rack was fine.

***FaLKoN240*** · 01-24-2008, 02:09 PM

SPL uses stock Z32 tie rods for that exact reason. Not to mention they're cheaper and easier to find/make.

They're on version 4 on the outter tie rod end.

And they're only improving them by going with better material and they tweak their designs to make them better each time.

I'd rather buy a v10 product that rocks out than to buy a v1 product that's been known to fail.

Slidin240Wayz · 01-24-2008, 03:07 PM

SPL...seriously...

Sir · 01-24-2008, 03:46 PM

cheaper than megan, they must be better than.

yo Brotato, its cool that you're trying to spam Zilvia but fuck you suck at it.

Seriously, the spam doesn't turn out so fresh when you're just as lame as someone mashing the keys about trying to save 10cents on suspension arm.
