Go with shine if you want quality if not sure most will accommodate.

What's the easiest way to get the stock rear diff bushings out? I have a Harbor Freight Press but can't figure out how to set it up to get those bushings out... I was able to knock the subframe bushings out with a hammer and socket but the diff bushings were giving me a hard time. I may have to cut them out...

Question to people running extended ball joints. I have a set extended but it seems like my tie rod end does not want to extend out enough. Im guessing it might be from the length I extended it, but what are peoples solutions to something like this?

Well mine are extend also but my tie rods are much longer than the super now, gp sports, or mazdatrix ones. Zak sells the longer ones, mine are s14 ksports. I know this cause I had the gp sports angle kit but I sold it. Do you have rack spacers?

I extended one of mine 2" just for ***** and gigs and ended up with -10* camber. I have a feeling those are going to be a little long, 1.5" put me at -6.3* and it feels perfect.

Yea error on my part... I extended tie rods 3" the lower balljoint is only 1.5" at the control arm. 3" total overall track width. Fail post failed

My camber is at 4.6* and i can probably go up to 6* with the adjustment left on the upper camber plates

Inner Tie Rods 91 rx7

So in the drifting world im just about to buy some modded knuckles... i know eventually im going to be bending many many inner tie rods and i was wondering if anyone has found a stronger solution to the stock ones. I have been searching the web with no luck but oem looking stuff.

Thanks all
