    I've used the T3 weld on LCA kit on my brothers AE86 and it's great. Finishing off another pair tomorrow arvo for my pano. I wouldn't personally run rod-ends to replace a bush at any other location on a street car other than LCA's or Panhard rod. LCA's and Panhard are side to side movement so keep things firm with handling. Stuff like trailing arms and caster arms I stay with bushes (front to rear load, acceleration/braking).

    If unequal length rear end then only go solids on the lower links as has already been said..

    But apart from that rose joint anything you want..
    Place I get mine from.

    Plenty of adjustment. When you cut your original arms you choose your minimum length. The pair I made for my track car I cut them and welded the kit on so the minimum length is slightly less than an XT130 arm.

    i buy magill motorsport rods also and can vouch for their quality. make sure you order the correct ones though as they make shitty quality ones as well as good one's.
    can get boots off them also.
