Only thing I can think of is these are some type of tension bars similar to what all rwd nissans have. aka 240sx

I don't see any type of similar item on any fwd nissan including the sentra. but the thread states it bolts up to stock points. Odd.

They bolt to the control arms I think. Warpspeed was supposed to be coming out with them like 2-3 years ago but they never did. I'd own them if they did.

My mustang has those (called strut rods though, same thing eitherway) on the front suspension. I would worry about effects on suspension travel though

Guys I think I can make some - my dad bought those funny little chrome adjustable rod ends - IDENTICAL to that. We would have to weld a small metal bracket to our wheel tables but he has 4 of them for his 4-link suspension on his '73 firebird. The chrome rod ends are crazy expensive though.

The post is in the 4th gen forum. Took a while but they are ready.

One of the sets was sold to a 5.5 gen owner, so we will know whether or not they fit 2000-2003 very soon. The platform/suspension is the same so I would think so.

I was looking at mine yesterday and I don't see the large hole in the picture from the other thread. However making a hole is a fairly simple job. The other thing is that I don't think they will work on the automatic because the trans is right in the way. They may have to be connected under rather than on top for clearance or in a position further away from the pivot point.

This is what a 1995-1999 Control Arm looks like.

I'll be refunding his money. I'm gonna go straight to the dealership and check a 5.5 gen control arm first hand though.
