OK basicly...

Afco racing website:
2x part # 19514 14" Swaged Steel Tube= 15.60 each
1x part # 30211 GN tie rod end= 15.50 each
1x part # 30212 GN tie rod end= 15.50 each
1x part # 10420 standard steel rod end= 11.85 each
1x part # 10421 standard steel rod end= 11.85 each
Total of $85.90 a pair.
you can substitute part # 10420/10421 with 10424/10425 for $36.70 each.
Thats about 80% complete right there. (dont forget, you will need two right turn jam nuts and to left turn jam nuts)
now, the hard part was getting the needed components to attach it to the car.
If there was such a thing as a Metric Hiem End "Hiem Extension", then this install would be cake... However, there is not.
My solution was to change the fasteners over to "standard".
What I used was a 1/2 inch bolt that was the same measurement as the OEM piece, and went from there.
as you can see from the picture, per arm I used,
one 1/2 inch bolt w/ nut
two split lock washers
three half inch washers that match the diameter of the OEM rear camber adjustment washer *3rd washer is used as spacer* - (see pic and explanation below)
two 1/2 inch Hiem ends
two DIY mounting tabs from performance metal supply. (not nessary)
By using washers that are the same diameter as the stock ones, we can "lock" the new bolt into position.
Using the new washers also deletes the factory adjustably placing the bolt on center BUT, with the AFCO arms you gain much more adjustably than stock.
It is a must that you use washers that have a 1/2 inch hole that is exactly the diameter of your new bolt.
In my case, I couldn't locate a set of washers that had the perfect ID, close but not perfict.
So I had to use two tabs per arm that I got from a performance metal supply, to totally lock in the bolt.
It worked out perfectly.
These arms are very tough. they for sure can stand up to allot of abuse, not like the Ingalls POS arms.
