Suspension Components. Rods, Arms, Etc. Where to get them?

So I've been looking around, all over the place, and no luck! ugh -_- and don't say, "omg! there's this thing called Yahoo! =o" cuz I've checked =p. Anybody know what brands to look for? good brands? any info on all suspension components (other than the obvious. coils etc.) would be much obliged. Thank you =)

rods and arms? its not a 240. XD

check mazdatrix and rotorsportsracing

front toe and camber is the same as most cars. a few places sell bumpsteer and/or extra angle tie rod stuff. eyecandy on rx7club did a gb before. besides that i know autornd sells the ends. mazdatrix as well.

front caster is usually controlled from a combation caster/camber plate. k2rd used to make one but from what ive read they are gone.

for rear camber you get to choose from a rear vertical link that attaches to the subframe and controls both wheels at once, or independent camber adjustment on each side that is a bit more pricey. mazdatrix (both styles) and rotorsportsracing (indy only). ebay has the rear vertical link i believe.

for rear toe it seems alot of people rely on the stock adjusters. the only aftermarket adjusters i've come across are at rotorsportsracing.

dtss eliminators you can get in alot of places, including mazdatrix.

Spherical rod ends have no place on a daily driver.
They wear out too quickly and end up inducing weird handling due to the slop.
