Tie rods form courtsey nissan will be about 150-160 a set to you door. When the z car customs parts are compared to the nissan parts, it aint that bad. When compared to the $25 rock auto price, they do look expensive but so do the nissan parts.
I know some guys here will cringe but what I have done for about the past 15 years is to straighten the stock tie rods in my press to get rid of the bend. It gives a little more length. I have only used nissan tie rods and they have survived many track days and MANY offs.
You will be fine with the stock parts. I've ran 2.5-3 degrees of negative camber with stock tie rods with no issues. Been like that for at least 15 years.
Arizona z cars of style of tubular control arms will do what you want. I have a set on my car and have done what you are trying to do with these arms. Cobra Matt is selling a pair for 250. That is a killer deal.
Have you considered getting wheels with the correct Offset? What size tire are you trying to fit in the stock well? What sIze and type of wheel do you have?
I got to spend a day on the ring in a Lotus Exige. It was 45 and pouring rain. It was a very stressful day on the track but a blast! I would love to go back.
Mike. Watch those dorman boots closely. I never had any luck with those. Ended up using factory boots. The dorman boots I used on my yellow car ended up coming apart at speed. It was a mess. You may have better luck.
I recently went off at VIR. The car flew at least 30 feet. Landed nose first. I had Arizona Z car tubular control arms (old style) on the front of the car.
The control arms broke
The tie rods bent
One billet aluminum steering knuckle bent
The stock cross member cracked
The TC rods held in place by one bolt were fine. Not even bent.
I was fine also.
