Anyone running these? 159 for 4 is a damn good deal. And from a reputable company like DCR too.

isn't Jason?

I think he has Manny Z's.

oooooooooooooooooooooh

Some heim joints and some tube not all that hard to make. Heim joints on the street are generally a bad idea they have to be inspected and lubed every 500mi or so and replaced every 10k.

Those look pretty dope, and the price is great. Didn't know DCR made those. Man I might buy those in lieu of my planned bushing upgrade. Anyone want to buy lateral arm bushings?

I only put about 5K miles a year on my car, so the wear issue would be a minimal problem.

I ran the joints in my LCA's for about 3 years before they needed to be replaced. The majority of the time they were submerged in sand. Probably did around 35 000 -40 000km over that time.

But I have to agree, not hard to make. In fact you could make better than what those are.

Hey if i get those could i still use my car in the ST class?

I have since removed my manny z arms and gone back to stock. If I ever run rod ends again I'll get a set of greasable ones like these.

As mentioned these thing are easy to make.

Yea, that is a really good deal. Especially in comparison to the other rear LCA's available for our cars.

I bet if no one on here is running them, someone over on SRT is...

EDIT: Yea, there is a whole thread about them over there. No wonder I haven't seen much on these. He just started advertising them this month. Been around before but were much more expensive.

i will def be getting a set. esp since they already come in gold! they'll match my tension struts.

When I was searching around for them last month the other companies were about that price, but only for 2. So this is an almost impossible to resist deal.

Nope all the bushings have to be non-metalic

ah figured

Damn you glasswars, now you showed me i have to spend more money!

I emailed Darrell Cox with a few questions I had (and some that you guys had as well). I was mainly interested in the lifespan of the endlinks and whether or not he sold replacements separately. I'll post up if and when he replies.

thanks dood

I bit the bullet and just ordered some of these so I will let you know what I think when I get them and put them on.

Waiting on OB's response. If good, I'll pick up a set.

I ordered some last week (Tuesday afternoon) and got them Friday. Pretty much couldn't resist since I was looking for some anyway. They purty!

Still no reply. I'll check it again tonight.

The only recommendation that Darrell has is to lube them with motor oil every 6 months.

Thank you,

Jennifer

heard somewhere that the ones u sell would need to be inspected like every 500 miles or sumthin and replaced at 10k. is that true and if not what kind of maintenance would be needed to run these on my daily? thnx

Wow, yeah not a bad price for them at all compared to the MannyZ and Mopar bars! Curious why they didn't use heims that are teflon coated.

Ive got Teflon coated joints on my MannyZ bars. But these look real nice for the price. Nearly half as much as the MannyZ ones.

Same here... Kinda of a big price difference for non-Teflon heims.

Agreed.

i looked into making these for my car & i would have spent alot more just on parts......i will be ordering these soon

That's because if you actually use good parts there's no way you can build them that cheap. You should be spending about that much on just the rod ends alone.
