ok. sorry nate, and thank you.
These are being designed by Billy (board name drunkmunky)

These are the ones we make for the Nissan Altima 93-01.
These have been in production for quite some time so Racingline has been able to create several different pricing options and quality options.
They are as follows:
Standard zinc plated
Chrome plated chromoly alloy steel
Dichromite aurora bearings with graphite impregnated ES bushings
I've messaged Andrew and hopefully we can begin the process soon.
Thank you for the chat and I enjoyed meeting you all.

I have these on my car, so im probably one of the 3 that has ordered them. My experience is that they REALLY stiffen up the rear, and i havent had a single issue with them so far with 3k miles on them. If anyone has any questions i can try to help the most i can.
Thanks for the feedback. It is good to know this was not all done for naught.
i keep seeing hype about these new endlinks from racing line. i hope you all know that zinc plated steel WILL rust and that stainless steel has more rust resistance and is stronger than chromoly steel? thats why i chose the parts i did for my endlinks. only the best.

My only problem with all the proposed new designs are that they all still have the pass-through bolt design.
my guess would be it has something to do the manufactoring process because the company i use for hiem joints doesnt offer the stud in very many of their rod ends. the unplated low carbon steel series has studs but they are more expensive than the much stronger stainless steel i use. its probably easier for them to just let the consumer choose the bolt that way they dont have to supply models with the multitude of bolt sizes, lengths, and thread patterns.

I love'm. Uber pimpage from underneath, plus theres no more clunk from back there, and the awful squeek is gone. Not to mention I probly will never need to buy links again for this car's ass.

will these fit with a lowered car??
technically they would BUT they would pull your sway bar up thus putting it out of its optimum angle. i didnt do the math here but i read somewhere that lowering your car changes the sway bar angle either 5 or 10 degrees thus reducing the torque of your sway bar by 2%. dont hold me to those numbers as its been a while since i read that but its something around that range. to fix this youd need to lengthen your endlinks by how much you lower it. 1.25" lower means your endlinks need to be 1.25" longer, etc.

the AP endlinks are completely adjustable. will take care of lowering, and you can set it for different ride heights if you have coilovers or whatev.

Nice! so the AP will work with a lowered suspension as long as you adjust them as well

yep. i'm at stock height but i chose these ones so i don't have to worry about it if i end up lowering it. They are pretty expensive...sale from the AP website at 125 but then it was 15$ shipping. so about 3 times the price of stock links, but i think well worth it considering quality/versatility..
Great news, glad to hear it!! You are welcome. I am glad to help anyone out that I can.
so has anyone purchased these?? http://racinglineperformance.com/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=36&idcategory=16
