These guys sell them. Only thing I have heard is they are VERY noisy, which is not a prob in a racing app, but for street...??

ahh so it has been done i spent some time searching but found nothing anyway i also noticed they are the lower links does it make a difference. if it does work i might do that soon ill probably just fab them up myself with some extra links i got and some rod ends that would be cheaper ill try and keep update if i do. has anyone else done this with success.

Yes, it has been down for years. They are really not that noisy on a street car.
You would only ever want to do the lower arms. The uppers can not be done using the stock pickup points.

We have them: (Ours use the stock metric bolts. Others require you to drill the chassis to use a 3/4" bolt.)

I had heim joints on my old car and it was the best suspension mod I ever did. only on the lower links though. you can make custom rods and put them on the uppers, but you would only increase the infinate roll point. BAD!

I have all 4 bars with hein joints on my 1st gen celica. Feels great the only noise I get is when the car is at the slow speed inbetween accel and idle and the car kinda jumps back and forth, but all I do is either let off the gas totaly or clutch it and coast. but when accererating hard or decell hard no noise at all. I like it.

Just make sure to measure your pinion angle before and after so you get it back right.
