what are the other benefits these provide, besides creating clearance to avoid the parts rubbing? Do they give a tighter feel to the steering wheel, better response over bumps, etc, etc? im interested in these, i just dont want to read through the Plethora of pages over at matrixowners.

right now, im running S-techs with hotchkis sways on the way, possibly TEIN basics if i decide not to buy another car. They will work fine with just s-techs and hotchkis sways, correct? If so, im sold.

With the stock suspension i would leave the stock end links in if they are still good.

you probably can, but do you have a lathe to tap the threads left and right. Also you need to make shure the rods are within 10 thou of one another. Can you heat treat the rods because the finished product will be heat treated. The cost is as much in the accuracy as in the material.Also you have to make shure there is not much run out due to the fact that the spherical rod ends need to be 90 to one another.

I ordered a set through Hotchkis after I ordered my sways. Not sure what I paid for them now. But I do like them 100% better than the stocks.

If you can get me the thread size and eye dimension, I can order these through my work to make your own.
