I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to measure the stock S13 traction rod length, hole to hole. I am installing SPL traction rods on my new subframe but don't have the stock rods because I had HICAS. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. What points are measured, hole centre to hole centre?

8.25" sounds like exactly what I got when I measured hole center to hole center of my S13 traction rods(stock).

How about the toe rod length?:D

Whatever it takes to get around 3/16-1/4" total toe-in.

I can't remember what I recently tried out on the traction arm length... I think 8.5" since Epstein's last bumpsteer thread indicated this gave a flatter toe curve. I'm going to shorten my camber arms for a bit more negative camber.

I just need to know the stock length of the toe rods so when I get an alignment the spl arms will be at a stock length.

Traction rod is 8-1/4"
RUCA is 12-1/4"
Toe rod is 13-7/8"

all center to center, plus or minus a sixteenth.
