Engineered performance, premium materials
These SPL front tension rods are built from Billet 2024 aluminium hex rods that are CNC machined and gun drilled to save unsprung weight while maintaining exceptional stiffness. The unique 6061-T6 rotating clamp allows easy, precise on-car adjustment so you can lock in your alignment quickly and accurately. Blue anodised titanium hardware cuts even more weight and adds superior strength.
At the heart of the assembly are American-made FK Bearings JMX hardened, high misalignment Heim joints with a PTFE Teflon liner. This delivers quiet operation, very low friction and smooth articulation, while eliminating bushing compliance under load. The chemically bonded PTFE liner offers high load capacity and outstanding wear characteristics across a wide operating temperature range, making these arms ideal for road and track day use.
