Key Features

These tension rods feature a robust design focused on performance and durability. Made from large diameter (1 3/8") Billet 6061-T6 aluminum, they provide excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. The low-friction articulating 3/4" FK spherical bearings replace the stock rubber bushings, eliminating mushy steering feel and providing more precise feedback. The adjustable design allows for caster modifications, helping to optimize turn-in response and overall handling. The rods are engineered to withstand the rigors of aggressive driving while maintaining consistent alignment settings.

Construction & Design

Constructed from billet 6061-T6 aluminum, these tension rods are machined for precise fitment and durability. The incorporation of FK spherical bearings ensures smooth articulation and long-lasting performance, even under high loads. The titanium finish not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also contributes to weight reduction and corrosion resistance, making these rods a reliable upgrade for demanding driving conditions.

Driving Feel & Feedback

Installing these tension rods significantly improves steering response and feedback, providing a more direct connection between the driver and the road. The elimination of rubber bushings results in a firmer, more predictable steering feel, especially during aggressive cornering and high-speed maneuvers. This upgrade helps drivers achieve better control and confidence in dynamic driving situations.
