Exactly which set is best, strongest for lifted runner ? Which set is recommended.

You've got your heim sizes backwards for UCA and LCA.

Would you consider using a Johnny joint instead of a heim joint?

Thanks for that.

No, and here's why. You can get better quality joints with the Flex Joints. I've changed the Flex Joint option up a little bit. I wasn't thinking very clear last night when I was coming up with this. I can add an adjustable poly bushing to one end as an option as well.

Exactly which set is best, strongest for lifted runner ? Which set is recommended.

Best is matter of opinion. Heim joints are great, they work very well, and they a very strong. Flex Joints are also great, work very well, and are very strong. The heim joints will carry a bit more of a vibration than the Flex Joints, but nothing that the average person is going to notice that much. I feel that both options are good options. I also feel the Flex Joints are a better option.

Pm me and we can talk pricing, but I don't want to put it out here.

There might also be a powder coating option.

How are your arms holding up? They look impressive!

 

[Miatafanatic77]

These are the inner rear control arm bushings. I have a set of these for an E46 restoration we are doing. I gave up trying to figure out how to push them out of the control arms, given how thin the outer steel sheath is. Im sure there is a way to do it, though, as they sell the part to be pushed and replacement.

So you ended up using:

1 1/2" DOM

9/16 bolt hole bushings that are 2.5" wide? is that correct?

1-1/2" x .25" DOM was used on the fixed arms, and 1-3/4" x .25" DOM on the adjustable arms. The joints are a 9/16 bore, and are 2-3/8" wide.

Not anymore. I sold my jigs before I moved across country last summer.
