D-MAX D1SPEC Reinforced Tie Rod Type R + Pillow Ball Tie Rod End Set (86/GR86/BRZ)

D1SPEC Reinforced Tie Rod Type R

The D1SPEC Reinforced Tie Rod Type R offers a much wider length adjustment range, so it works with extended lower arms or short knuckles without any additional parts. It also fits vehicles with OEM knuckles. Many reinforced tie rods increase steering angle by adding a spacer, but the D-MAX part is machined as a single piece, increasing both strength and steering angle.

Co-developed with Kawabata, who drives an 86 as his personal car, does demo runs for TOYO Tires and competes in the D1 GRAND PRIX series in a GR86.

D1SPEC Tie Rod End, Pillow Ball Type

Improves steering response and front tire feel. Setting it correctly also reduces load on the tie rods. Since drift setups change to suit each course, converting to pillow balls adds strength and keeps geometry correct.
