Pictures of how you did it possibly? Would you consider building them for sale?

Mine are 12" rods (5/8" thread), 5/8"x5/8" rod ends, and 5/8" to 1/2" reducing misalign spacers.
oops... 10" rods
not 12"

It's nice because I was able to make longer links for my lowered car to keep the swaybar in the right spot... but the joints don't last that long unless you find a good way to seal them up, which I didn't.

So I guess the next set I make will have a threaded rod and female rod ends
There is also this though..

But I'm not sure how well it'll really hold up compared to the full boot, since the back of the rod end won't be sealed properly.

The hard part is figuring out which endlinks you want and how to seal them

If you could make a parts list that would be great. I have the qbm's version 1, but would love some aluminum ones like what you have. Also if you ever find a way to seal them pleas let us know. Maybe you can build something very similar to what you have now, but use the female ends so that you can use the rubber boots on that site. Then use a threaded stud for between the spherical ends and aluminum rod with two locking nuts.
If what I said above works, and you can make a parts list I know myself and others on this site would be very thankful.
I just put on qbm's gen one end links and I know they wont last long since I can't find a way to seal them. I will either keep buying new spherical ends every few years or find a way to seal them. I also don't like that they are heavy.
Something else to think about. Aluminum is more rigid so it is not only lighter, but better for this application.

true, not wanting to argue, but will say. The link posted by you shows a cost of rods rather cheap in comparison to other alternatives I have looked at. Also we are talking about performance in the performance section, so using materials that will give you better performance but wear out quicker is a norm, i.e. running more boost on motor. Also lighter so you can even go as far to argue that while being stiffer and harder on suspension it is also lighter and therefore slightly less stress on suspension components. One other thing, the failure rate is not not drastically high in my opinion. Again a trade off for higher performance.
Big picture, cheap relative to qbm's or other alternatives I have been looking at. Not to mention better performance.
I might have time this week to try to put together a parts list and post it here so you guys can look it over to make sure I have it all right.

How did these hold up? You made them early in the year, right?
I'd still like the parts list if you don't mind sharing; I have IPD links now, but homemade suits me better
