ROGUEPI Tension Rods - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Found these on Fleabay. Look very good and a LOT thicker than the Tein and Cusco ones in the blurb. The blurb also mentions that they are forged alloy whereas the Tein and Cusco are steel. I'm very interested in these and was wondering if anyone could confirm or otherwise whether its wise to use forgings for suspension components. They do look very robust tho!!.

Comments please folks.

TT

P.s Any comments from folks who have had dealing with this seller would be appreciated.

They may be bigger and stronger but they dont need to be and they add unsprung weight... buy Nismo. they are the same price as those.

Ah yes, but Nismo stuff's NOT adjustable unfortunately or I would have gone down that road. The ones in my first post are still top of my list unless anyone can come up with a reason for not buying them.
