Looking at doing the FTBR bushings kit. a LPW rear diff cover. Figured id change out the rear tie rods while in there.
I see a total of 3 options.
MM's.
FTBR
and kenny brown.

can anyone relate their experiences with any of these. or why they chose the ones they picked?
is there any other option im looking at.

did you do inner and outter replacements or just the inner or just the outer? how long have you had them?
are you lowered? did you set the bumpsteer curve? who set it?
any specs on your bumpsteer setting and how it feels?

Thanks in advance.

They're pretty much all the same. As long as you have spherical joints on both ends, you're good to go. I have Maximum motorsports' kit on my car. Works great.

I did not set a bumpsteer curve. I just had the alignment shop use it to set toe like they normally would. I have the complete FTBR kit along with the MM bumpsteer kit and the car hooks and pulls dead straight.

I have a set of Pauls high performance full inner/outer setup with spherical ends. Haven't installed them yet since I'm not in the country but they seem well built. Got them from a buddy's car he had no complaints.

I'm using the full MM ones. Decided on these because I was placing a big order with them and just added to the cart. Well built and seem to do the job. Haven't set the bump curve yet, have the gage sitting in the garage waiting

When you consider the toe link bars are what's holding the rear wheels toe setting and what forces it will be subjected to during breaking and acceleration and look how wimpy the stock bar looks you will appreciate the aftermarket ones.

Get the FTBR bars :coolman:
