Yes, owdlvr - Agree those are my only questions and will have them blasted when I do my chassis. I have a local race shop that I'd have re-tig / reinforce these parts for me if that's required. For the price, it was totally worth giving it a shot. I've also put a deposit on their "Full track" version of all the a-arms (just the arms/hardware) with all rose/heim joints and hardware but will start with this setup as is for the start of my build.

Yup, can't lose with the price.

Having run full rose joints on a street car (my Audi quattro rally car that I drove, fully caged, for years). I would suggest you don't go full rose joint on a car you're going to put miles on. I was replacing the rose joints minimum once a year, usually twice. Roughly 35,000km per year on the car.

The Audi arms we built, and later sold the design to 034 Motorsports:
