I think I might pick it up right now from JM Auto Racing - help support the local vendors a bit. They have them for $231 shipped.

Are you talking about the stock replacements? If so I like the Megan Racing option since it adjusts the geometry of the suspension to lowered cars. I think those will last a lot longer and be easier on the car/parts than a stock or stock-type replacement.
Yea the aftermarket ones for 60 bucks, i mean the megan ones ill get when i destroy these but i cant pay 500 bucks for those moonface ones, you safe up a little more and you can get coils.

With NYC roads, and potholes - sorry craters - I'd rather get the Megan Racing ones - help relieve some of the stress on my suspension from being dropped - and I have read of way too many failures revolving around ebay balljoints, allbeit these failures were on other cars and NOT G35's.

Seems like they have some good prices over-all. Both the tie rods and the ball joints, with shipping to Brooklyn, NY, come out to be $321.17

Didn't realize the tie rod ends from Tein won't work with the OEM tie-rods. Going to stop by my shop in a bit and lift the car and do a thorough inspection of the tie rods in full and determine if I should just order the full tein tierods and tierod ends - or if I really don't need the full ones.
The balljoints are ordered already. Kyle at Import Parts Pro was extremely helpful.

If you're talking about ball joints we're still talking about the Megan Racing versions. Metalp3n went a little OT talking about tie rods.

I stand firm with the Megan Racing ones over the Ebay OEM replacements - especially for dropped cars.
