AFAIK, there are quite a few inner/outer tie rod combination's. This is on S13.
Just wondering what you guys use and what you like best. I know there are a lot of s14 inners, stock outers, or ikeya stuff. Or even tein or megan tie rods (I've been hearing these bend easily?) What do you guys use?

Hmmm ... this could be good info. I was going to get Megans just because they're cheap, but if they bend/break too-easily, I may have to rethink them.

Just bought this: Ikeya Formula inner tie rods   OEM S14 outers  Modded knucks   New boots too (HAHA)  Now I'll finally have some decent angle. (hopefully) I hope the welds don't break on the knuckles. My coupe had this: Nasty (bad) stock outer tie rods Nasty (barely good) stock inner tie rods MAX 7mm angle spacers

PS Nick I found the gas tank cover thingy. The tie rod pickup has been moved downward and closer to the lower ball joint for more angle! Aaron, I'm going to try to take pictures of all of it tonight with the good camera!

I've never SEEN any megan or circuit sports tie rods break, but I have read it on zilvia and nico and junk. I like that setup you have nick. So basically you just did the same as the super angle kit from max?

Yeah it's similar to the max kit. I really want their kit, but didn't have the money for it right now. Maybe for the coupe I'll have money to get it. The mod I did was free. Tie rods are the same ones they use. The max kit would make more angle then my modded knuckles, and is probably stronger too. Just a lot more expensive.
I'll have to grab that gas lid thing sometime!

What did that Ikeya / S14 combo run you Nick? I'm stupid-interested in that setup for the Starion.

Ikeya inner's sell on http://www.poweredbymax.net/ for like $120 or $140. I may go with this setup, but where did you get your S14 oem outers?

I didn't buy Nissan ones. They're Moog or something from Rock Auto. I don't think outers break too much.
