stockers might bend under hard driving.

...wait, what do you mean by "two outer"? Do you mean tension rods?

but are they really worth the price those tein rods

tein are only compatible with the tein tie rod ends, they I REPEAT NOT compatible if you mix match them with stock pieces.

Tien uses S14 threads on their tie rods so yes it is possible to use stock ends with them. Just make sure they're for an S14 (even if you have an S13). Anyway about the tie rods I got them on my car and I believe they are worth the money over stock. The stiffer bushings and spacers WILL make a noticable difference in steering feel.

not sure about SPL heard good things about them but tein is a proven brand. I feel any aftermarket part that is good quality will be better than stock.

I heard that SPL tension rods can hang with Tein in terms of strength, but I haven't heard anything about the tie rods

Teins are great. And, btw, when you get the Tein tie rods, you get both sides, complete. You get the two tie rods AND both outer tie rod ends...
