5 spoke rims should be mandatory so everyone can see the superior workmanship on these!! maybe a mirror mounted like the front pan to reflect all that purty stainless!

Is one end reverse threaded so that they can be adjusted in place? Looks great.

What is your initial thoughts on costing for a full set of all four pair?

BlackSRT6.... yes, the rod ends are right and left hand threads. Loosen the jam nuts and turn the rod to adjust...re-tighten the jam nuts

the adjustable arms are $235/set and the sway bar links are $175/set.... 10% discount if you order any 2 or more sets....

So for double that you could make me a set for the front and the rear?

The front is set up different.... the camber and toe are handled with the lower control arms... MB bolts or Kmac kits(best choice and $380).....and as Steve mentioned elsewhere the sway bar is mounted different in front also and dosen't use the link.....

I wasn't feeling the love for the bottom mount of the sway bar link and did some test fittings and found that I can use a QA1 rod end and spacers like the other arms.... so I have revision 2 and I am very happy with them.....I had the other sets ready to go out but am going to re-do them with the new design... I just need to get more rod ends to match with the other end.... this will also double the adjustment length from 3/4" to 1 1/2".... here are pics of them and my stainless ones.....

Les.... I will send you the new parts..... you will just need to screw them onto your existing top rod ends....

I've never looked at my suspension arms.

What size are the QA1 rod ends you are using? I'm curious if an off the shelf Currie Johnny Joint is a direct replacement. They are greasable and rebuildable.

Go to QA1 and look up the specs on the XM10 rod ends.... they are .75" ***** with a .625" hole... the spacers take the hole to 12mm to match the factory bolts and 1.5" wide to match the mounts...

I have my fingers crossed that the sway bar end links show up today. I have a window tomorrow during which I can install them.
