This is to build the part here?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7928180846&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT
I was thinking about buying these.
That's exactly it. I bought them a couple of months ago, but they shipped it to the wrong address and had to recharge me additional shipping  Finally got them today.
So I paid 175 for something I could have built for under $100.
On the picture, you see that there is a bushing on each side of the rod end. I'm not sure if he made these himself or odered them thru afco. there is a couple of parts that I see that may be used. I'm going to order a set from afco to see which ones are the right ones and will let everyone know.

how many HP's will we gain from this? 
I have witnessed a high powered car on a dyno gain real hp from a proper alignment.

hopefully you'll have more luck with those than i had with the ingalls rear adjustable arms. had them on my gsx for about 6 months or so, untill the right rear broke in half after going over some bumps (on GCP by LaGuardia airport).
i drove the junk yards by the shea stadium with it broken (i put on the spare because my regular wheel was rubbing against the spring/shock) and had it welded there.
i alsmost made it home when it broke again just few blocks away. went to gary at mitsubishi grave yard and got 2 stock arms and put them in.
ingalls sux major ass.
Yeah Read about that Adrian. I'm hoping this will be able to take NYC streets beating the Galant will be my daily driver.
These bars definietly look beefer then the ingalls and are straight vs the bent arm design from ingalls.

I have no problems with it. If the guy expected to make a bunch of money from throwing together some off the shelf parts, he should rethink his business plan. What you did was inevitable. Now if you started selling them at a price just under his, then yes, you'd be bumping up against moral walls.
Carry on.

Thanks mark.

John, I think this is what your looking for. Rod End and Bushing Kit 20023K (3/4") comes with 1 jam nut and 2 rod end bushings. I read your post and it reminded me that I bought the same kit, only smaller (20013K, 5/8"), for my AFCO coilovers in my Typhoon. Hope this helps 
thanks Tommy, yeah I'm going to buy one to see if that is it or not. I'm hoping it is it'll save alot of headache for everyone looking for the correct parts.

John, is the shank on the rod end also 3/4" or is it 3/4" rod x 5/8" shank? I also found rod end spacers 10276 (5/8" i.d.) and 10277 (3/4"i.d.)
Tommy, they are 3/4" also. I'll let you know how they work out. I'm going to order them when I get home tonight and have more time for research.

Yeah, I agree...this is good info to have 'on hand'; thanks for posting the parts involved! I had a question about the spherical rod ends...are they high quality type and do they have any 'safety' built in, should they shear (I guess by nature they would, but thinking more on the bolt side of it and have read some horror stories using them, but that is mostly with 4byin' applications, which is a whole 'nother can of worms on the suspension forces  )...I guess the forces we encounter in this location though wouldn't be so much of a concern, but I'm still curious... This looks like a nice 'upgrade' and will add another one to my 'to do list' now, he he...Thanks again for the info...
