one is a solid connection
the other is like standard (with the metal sleeve that has rubber inside it) but with less of a space within which the tie rod can move
question is, can anyone offer a comparison of both as im about to buy along with the rs uprights and have to make a decision
I am tempted to go with the GTevo ones because there is zero play and you will get a very direct feel to the steering but i don't want to introduce any nasties into the system. Posrhce obviously saw fit to keep some compliance on the RS and I don't want a car thats any more hardcore than the RS. Having said that, I have heard RS owners moaning about the RS steering saying that its sloppy compared to the 964 RS and the evo tie rods help this ! So there are arguments for both I guess.
Would relaly appreciate any user feedback form either or both
thanks

If you do a search you'll find pictures that show that the EVO tie-rods are a different geometry to match the different geometry of the EVO uprights.
I don't think the EVO uprights provide any difference in steering feel, but they sure help bump-steer in a lowered car. Most people whine about the lack of feel from the power steering in the standard vs the manual steering in an RS.

i think there almost certainly will be a difference between standard, RS and EVO tie rods... as there is progressively less lateral play built into each system

I'm not sure that I detect any change w/ any of the RS combinations, the power steering rack is just plain numb, Harder or monoball A arm bushes do help a lot to improve initial turn in as does a good performance alignment w/ 0 toe

Driving on the streets of Manhattan gives new meaning to the word "kickback". Car has been seeing more track than street miles since I installed them. They work very well in that environment.

ok thanks bb
can yu elaborate a bit more... is this shockwaves through the rack ? or the rack being deflected ? what actually happens
im slightly confused because on the one hand you say no nasties encountered but then you say gives new meaning to the word kickback ?
apologies for pressing you on this... im just trying to get an accurate appraisal of these systems so i dont make the wrong choice for myself

Sorry about the confusion. Trying humor can sometimes trigger that "one people separated by a common language" thing.
I was referring to the very poor state of repair of Manhattan streets, where driving any kind of 911 gives new meaning to the word jarring and a lot of movement in the steering wheel. I can't really say I've noticed a difference in shockwaves/kickback/nasties using these parts over the stock ones they replaced. But I made a few other suspension changes at the same time. I didn't add this part incrementally. Doesn't sound like I'm being much help here.
