EP3/DC5 - What tie rods with inverted ends

[mryangtastic]

Hi ClubITR, specifically EP3 and DC5 owners,

For those with inverted tie rod ends, do you run OEM tie rods or shortened?

Thanks.

if you are going to lower your car, definitely run Shorten Tie Rodds

there is a few options available such as Hardrace and J's Racing.

but a lot of the Ep3 guys run Todds because of the adjustability and that it was made out of OEM.

The adjustability of Todd's is a bonus.
Is there anyone out there with inverted ends + Hardrace rods? Or even OEM rods?
Also interested in their alignment settings too.

Went to JDM yard to enquire about it and they said to either go with their shortened tie rod and end combo OR to get their inverted ones.

Since I possess the inverted ends, I'll see how it goes when they're installed.

Does anyone know what the difference between the hardrace shortened tie rods and the Todds shortrened tie rods? There seems to be quite a significant price difference...

Don't fit inverted tie rod ends to a DC5/EP3. Will make your bump steer worse. I think I've posted about it here before, search my posts.

I have the Todd's tie rods on my car, no issues even with heavy track use. The difference between Hardrace and Todds is that Todd makes his from brand new OEM tie rods which gives you guaranteed equivalent quality to OEM.
