wuts the advantages of having a spl aftermarket tension rod over a stock oem tension rod? ive noticed that the aftermarket tension rods dont have a rubber bushing, so im guessing quicker reaction with the aftermarket part....quicker steering? lost...need guidance

 

it is quicker and more responsive steering. i just installed mine about a week ago and they are very nice. Turning feels like your car weighs nothing. very good suspension upgrade for the money.

 

Another benefit is the ability to adjust caster.

They're a good mod, and not a difficult DIY, though you should get an alignment after install.
