so what are you guys running on your linked suspension?

whats a good place to get either johnny joints or hiems from?

I got my jonny joints thru currie. Forged 1 1/4 for about $35 each. They are large, Hard to package but quiet uner operation. Heims are easier to package, Noisier(if you go cheap) and vary mass in price range...Costly heims will last longer and be quieter and be easier to position.

How much room ya have?

i just bought 4 7/8" jimmy joints to use on the axle side of my rear 4 link. going to run bushings on my frame side mounts. call them up, they were very helpful in determining on what rod ends were best for my application.

side note: ill have my sas done by may (soa front with dual tri 4-link rear). gotta hook up this summer and show em what nissans do!
