On a side note don't tie the car down with them. We usually use axle straps around our lower control arms to tie it down on the trailer or hold it on the dyno. Big mistake with these, snapped both rear control arms on the dyno.
Just as an FYI for you road racers out their looking to replace your upper rear 1G arms with straight tubular ones. They will hit the chassis BEFORE the tire hits the inner fender. I found this out the hard way at Watkins Glen with the new Ohlins suspension. NOT GOOD. Car felt VERY loose in the back because under a high compression turn all of a sudden the rear goes solid. So, for those intending on fully stroking their suspension on a road course, make sure you put a bend in these so you can effectively stroke the suspension and get to the bump stops first.
Robert, the width of the ball of the heim will be the same no matter the brand or series. So you can swap in any heim and use those same heim spacers.Reason I ask is because I went with the AFCO joints and already have the spacers made up. If I could get away with using these spacers, it would be outstanding
Well I pulled the trigger on doing the uppers, here's the parts list I ordered:
30211, Afco Tie Rod End, 3/4 LH thread, from summit $20.85 x2
10141, Jam Nut, 3/4 LH thread, from summit $1.95 x2
10140, Jam Nut, 3/4 RH thread, from Summit $1.95 x2
19514, 14" Swedged Steel Tube, 3/4 thread, from Summit $15.35 x2
and
VCAM-12, Aurora PTFE Male Rod End, 3/4 RH thread, (Heat-treated, teflon lined heim joint), from Car Shop Inc $27.95 x2
Jeggs was within $2.00 of what Summit wanted but couldn't ship till the 7th of Nov on a part so....everything shipped was about $150...Ingals wants $140ish? for 1 of these things?
I'll update if any interest,

sway bar end links should be mounted vertical so the stress of moving up and down is absorbed instead of being horizontal causing the end links to twist, this will effectively make your swaybar useless.
