SPL tie rod ends
comes with pillowball joint and also spacers for bumpsteer adjustment i believe

are you getting the SPL midlinks to retain the OEM spring setup, or traction rod to go to a true type coilover?

for coilovers on the track, Aragosta or AST

but on a budget basically everyone loves Charles @ Powertrix since he will build you whatever you want if you ask him. I went with Aragosta but he still helped me sort out some spring issues, very nice guy

Yeah I read about Charles but shipping will be the biggest issue, for addon spoiler I got shipping quotation around $680, and I think coilover shipping will be more expensive. So it will shoot the price to over $2k, where I can buy (including shipping) KW V3 for $1600 (from UK) Bilstein under $1900 (UK as well) Zeal @ $2k from Japan. I wouldn't say they are better or his, as I didn't see a direct comparison. Nevertheless, I admire his work and liked his customer service and helpfulness from the little conversation we went through for the addon spoiler.

As I understand getting the traction link will give me a little more adjustment for toe over OEM regardless of the rear suspension type, and as far as I know, all coilovers I listed are OEM type except Zeal and MCA where they offer both types. correct me if I am wrong. I think mid link will be obvious choice

I would like to stay within $3k for the coilovers. I am not getting into competitions as we don't have much, only trackdays and hopefully autox if we found a sponsor so going over that is not necessary and even what I allocated is a lot, but I like to get quality parts instead of going through multiple cheapo parts.


and thank guys for the quick replays.
