When getting an alignment last summer I was told my tie rods were too long and the mechanic was unable to get zero toe at the height I was at because I ran out of threads on my inner tie rods. I was wondering instead of running the Todds tie rods, would I be able to run CR-V tie rods since they are cheaper? I heard they are shorter and I'm just trying to confirm this before I buy them.

I cannot confirm the crv tie rods being shorter. I am looking at these http://www.nengun.com/js-racing/spl-tie-rod. Probobly not the cheapest option. You could try finding a shop to continue the threads with a "die". Might be the cheapest if there is room.

Alright thanks. I might just go with Todds, they're cheaper than the j's racing.

Damn I should've bought a pair of these, never knew they existed. That's practically the same thing I have now: T1R inverted tie rod ends with DaVinci (Todd's) Designs tie rods. Except total for me was well over $400 USD blahhhhhhhh.
