The ins and outs of Tie rods? lol

Just curious as to what everybody is running out there for inner/outer tie rods. Im looking at Mazdatrix because...well theyre $50 cheaper, and then I can grab some PBM 7mm rack spacers. But the GP Sports kit is pretty rad as well as the Supernow!.

Anyway: Im just curious as to what people have and what their feedback is.

Thanks!

from what ive heard, S13 outers fit, and are obviously much easier to find.

I have the Mazdatrix steering angle kit. It works good and is a huge improvement over factory Mazda crap. Not a huge Mazdatrix guy but they make some good stuff and you get what you pay for.

I'm using the steering angle kit too. Sooo much better angle. I've had mine for quite a while now, and the spherical ends feel like they're starting to get a little slop in them but all in all a must have if you're going to drift
