Bling Bling Nagisa suspension bits
 
The tie rod ends look pretty tasty. I'm thinking about picking them up since i'm going to have to do some work on my steering rack once i get my car (finally) running again.

Anyone with first hand experience with the durability of the pillowball joints on a car that is driven a bit more than on weekends or track days?

Spherical ball bearing rod ends are very good for racing application since it eliminate all the play compare to rubber bushing, making the chassis feel tight and give more feedback to the driver. However I don't think they are intended to use for daily driving. They absorb more shock and vibration which could do damage to the chassis. They will also wear out faster. I used a lot of spherical rod ends for many machine design work at my company and those are the common problems I have seen.

Thats nothing new, SuperNow! has been producing bumpsteer kits for years now, and you also get a spacer to increase steering angle (7degrees or more).

As for durablity I cannot speak for Nagisa, but there are many people in the states running the SuperNow kits most famous is Tony Angelo of Drift Allaince. SuperNow! has two versions available, the street and race. The only difference in the rod end, the street has a 2pc, and the race has a 3pc with a higher load rating.

Here is a pic of the street kit let me know if you have any questions.
