I made my own LCAs and PHRs before. not anything else. It all can be done if you have the resources.
I found that buying others stuff (UMI, Spohn, SJM) was just about as easy when dealing with Rod Ended products.
Poly ends might not be that bad.

I agree with Herron. I made my own Subframes, Chrome-moly Double rod end control arms and panhard. But I have access to alot of nice equipment at work. It can be done, but if you dont know how to weld you might be better off buying some. It is hard to beat some of the prices out there to.

i have a MIG welder and can work it pretty good. i agree that it would probably be better to buy the rod ended stuff but the LCA relocation brackets and SFC's i'm pretty sure i have the patience to do those.

i just need some pics of some setups and maybe some specs i.e. bolt sizes, hole diameters. i'd also like to try the torque arm if anyone has info on it
