Does anyone have a hookup with A1/Techno Toy/Megan? i'm gonna buy a whole sweep of parts. Or does anyone have any used megan coils for IRS notch, tension rods, and a1 racing tie rod ends? Also what is to consider when putting all those on like alignment specs for drifting and rebound stiffness/softness etc.

TC Rods/Coils/A1 ends/etc?
I would avoid specialized parts like the A1 rods for an actual track car. You will wreck and you will bend them. Either switch to S13 LCAs and run S13 inner tie rod with 95 Escort outer or switch to S14 LCAs and run S13 inner and S13 outer
do s13 inners bolt right in?
Yeah what Iggy said. I dont think youll want to drop 100+ on a set of tie rods whenever you bend them when you can just get some stock ones for like 20.
S13 inners bolt in but they're too long so youll have to cut em down.
Just get whatever the escort setup is, it works perfectly according to Jay.
ya. righty tighty, lefty loosey. i use a big crescent wrench and kick it. they have locking plates with the edges bent over. you can reuse them if u want.

just heads up heres my front suspension setup
S13 coilovers with camber plates
S13 spindles/hubs
S13 balljoints
S13 inner tie rods (uncut)
aftermarket Heim-jointed and bumpsteer spaced S13 outer tie rods
S13 brakes (Q45 or J30 are better and usually easy to find in junkyards)
S14 tension rod brackets
S14 LCAs (boxed)
Energy Suspension LCA bushings
aftermarket S13/S14 adjustable tension rods
I got some a1's that I am not using anymore
is it normal for the a1 tie rod ends to not get tightened all the way to get the cotter pin in on s13 knuckles?
