any ever made their own suspension???

just easy things like

rear lower control arms, adjustable pan hard rods, torque arm, subframe connectors or a strut tower brace...

has anyone ever made their own??? i am contemplating doing this, but im not to sure if they are made to special diameters or if they are just strong steel tubular peices........

Thanks guys

Scott

Mine look just like the ones on the site. I bought the same AL from the same places, but I got my QA1 rod ends off Ebay instead; it was cheaper. I'm also running the Seals-it rod-end seals to help the ends survive a little longer.

It's not really building your own, it's more just buying pieces, and assembling them yourself.

hmmmmm........that might be what i do, but i would really like to look into just making a copy of the BMR stuff........something without a swivle end.

Thanks for the link though, i might end up doing that instead
