Damn...those are ridiculously prices. If you are considering those why not heims? Just curious...

Well im concerrned about how exposed the heims seem to be, to me they seem better suited for offroad. What happens when u drive in the rain. Do they have to be lubed to avoid rust? And how much are the heims?i have funds to go either way. Only want to do this once if u know what i mean.

Well, they aren't going to be good forever. No part will be. I do spray they occasionally with silicon based lube. I drive daily, zero problems so far with them so far & it's been a full year. I don't know if the price has changed but I paid ~$225 I believe...

Frankly, I think they would wear faster & be exposed to more in an offroad situation than a street one.

I've made up my mind to go heim. I sent Sportsfan an email and am waiting for a response. Thanks for your help on this. I actually saw a car build this weekend on TV and they used a similar heim setup. Now I just have to wait to hear back..

Yea the angle on my tie rods look just like Physh1 due to the DJM arms...I need something much beefier. Im gonna try these heims..

Well I got a response from Mike and am now waiting to hear back. What's the difference in stock height and being dropped with the heim setup? I'm ready to order, but this is like ordering a custom chassis fro my Rc car, a process...

I'm just gonna text him and get this done...

There are different brackets to the centerlink depending if your lifted, stock, or dropped.
