I would do Newman Creations and I would have likely have done their front control arm package as well as the balance of the rear suspension arms. I have NOS GM stuff or I would certainly consider his stuff above all others:

Rear toe is near the bottom of the products link. Newman is first class components.

All I can mention is make the call and talk to him. I've had many good discussions with him regarding several things.

What do these rods do that the stock ones don't?

replace the old worn out ones

I'd recommend the Banski kit. Although a little more money the rod ends are Teflon lined and therefore very low maintenance as they don't need to be greased.

In addition the locking mechanism uses clamps rather than jam nuts and only requires a small 1/4" socket or 3/16" allen wrench to tighten, as opposed to two large wrenches for the jam nuts.

The center mounting bracket and suspension knuckle threaded studs are all stainless steel to reduce corrosion.

There is also a "safety plate" used with the center bracket that puts the inner rod end bolts in a double shear condition rather than a cantilevered condition.

From a functional standpoint they do essentially the same thing. IMO, the Banski kit has a better locking mechanism and uses dry lube rod ends as described above.

Any rod end kit will also make it easier to change the inner tie rod end(s) if they were to wear out. You can change just the rod end rather than having to buy the OE center assembly.

Admittedly I might be a bit biased however.

Thanks for your comments, Teflon lined is a plus

I have had Banski kits with DRM mounting brackets for a few years now and the ride is much better. Just make sure to get the boots for a DD to keep dirt out.
