Wow older thread. Well after doing some research I built my own adjustable heim joint strut rods for about $80. That led to more research and I am now almost done with a complete roller coilover setup. Ive combined designs from about three different companies because each one had stuff that I did not like. And Im pretty much done all for under 1k. Ill post a build thread when im done.

What these companies get for these setups ups especially what they get for there control arms is an absolute joke. I built a pair of tubular roller uppers for about $150. I love the internet, you guys are awesome!

I'd like nice adjustable 67 heim joint strut rods for $100.

Bet you could sell a few on ebay?

I don't think you can buy those south of $200 now.

I dont have access to a 67. But maybe we can help each other? I can make a bracket for you and tell you what parts to order to go with it. Only difference between 65 and 67 would probably be the length of the radius rod.
