Cheap adjustable strut rods
Anybody have any experience with these. They look like excellent quality at half the price. I couldn't pass it up and picked up a set. We'll see when they get here.

Never had any experience w/the QA1 strut rods but I know they make very good shocks so I would expect their strut rods to be top notch as well.
Edit...Just called QA1. They don't make the strut rods, they just make the heim joints.

I put them on this summer, and I did get them from the same guy. I have about 2000 miles on them and have had no issues with them. I kept the originals just in case. For what its worth, the guy at the alignment shop liked them.

Guy must be making home kits and selling them as QA1's. If you linked QA1 to the e-bay sale I bet it gets pulled pretty quick or at least the wording gets changed.
Norval made his own out of heim joints and alum rods. Believe he used 5/8" heim joints and 13" rods.
