Just got a set of Gibson +2 a arms, but they didnt come with tie rods... and I think Ill need new brake lines???

So where does everyone recommend gettin some? I checked EastCoast, and they have some Gibson tie rods, but they're $199 .... and the ones on Burguards site are $45/set.... what's the diff????

Anything Im missing here?

Thanks!

any +2 tie rod will work... 199$ is a freakin rip off

i got some stainless steel LSR tie rods after my Burgards got trashed, they are great, can take a beating, Burgard, or LSR would be a good choice, 200 bucks is a bit nutty for 2 tie rods without ends

I would be calling whoever you bought them from and ask why the heck you didn't get tie rods. You should not have to go and buy them after spending that kind of money on a-arms.

I got em from K&K, and he told me before hand that he didnt have any tie rods with em, so they were cheaper.... but i didnt look for any b4 I bought em, and wasnt expecting such price differences... plus half the sites dont list having them :confused:

Thanks for the info all!

I pretty sure that the gibson tie rods come with heim joints on the ends thats why they are so expensive. The burgards probably dont come with ends you use your stock ones.
