Hey guys I am about to put the battle version tension rods on my S13 and just wanted to know how other people adjusted them. It says on the website to start with the ends bottomed out and then adjut to length. Did you just eyeball to make it as close to the same length as stock rod? Did you just adjust it while it was on the car to make holes line up? I'm just about to put the car up so any help is appreciated.

Also for the people who have already intsalled these, was an alignment necessary?

measure it up to match same as your stock ones as close as you can.

get an alignment

you MUST get an alignment unless you know how to do it yourself to factory specs.

wrong caster setting=kill tires.
