Replacing Tie Rods

So I need to replace my driver side tie rod and though I might as well just replace all. I was thinking about getting the Whiteline Front Roll Center Adjustment Kit?
I've heard good things from friends(non evo drivers) about this Whiteline kit, especially with lowered cars.
I would like to get some opinions from Evo people that have bought this kit or even suggest a better make.

Thank you

Whiteline makesa very nice kit which includes both front outer tie-rods and lower control arm ball joints. It's really the only replacement available for the Evo, and is well worth doing.

Yea roll center kit is a must have for a lowered EVO. I had the boots tear on mine and Whiteline sent me free replacements no questions asked

Yeah I heard they have lifetime warranty? That's awesome if they do!

Not really. They had an issue with the material on the boots cracking a few years ago, so they replaced them for people. But they've since changed the compound. In any case, the only people who had the issues were the guys who tracked their cars, and had the brake shields removed, exposing the covers to high temps.

I don't track my car so I should be good!
