I'm going back and forth on whether the SPL tie rod setup is worth it for my application and I'd like some input on the matter.
I pulled my steering rack to depower it and in the process noticed that my outer tie rods are shot, and the inners are packed with dirt from ripped boots.
My two options are Moog stock replacement inner/outer/boots from rockauto.com for around $200 shipped or SPL Z32 inners, V5 spherical outers and boots for ~$360 shipped.
My car is mostly used for street driving with autocross every month and hopefully some open track stuff this year. I'm still stock height and will be for some time to come, so the bump steer adjustment doesn't matter to me. Is there an improvement in steering feel over typical ball joint OEM stuff with the spherical outers? Will I appreciate the increased strength on the track?
