You can get them there - however since I live in Austin I just drove down and met with Kuah and picked them up.
Great service.

These are quality parts. Very beefy and well put together.
I ordered the next day they were available. Too bad I still do not have my Z back from the shop. (it's been 5 months!).
I'm just wondering if we must use all of the spacers or if they are optional. Any know?

They are optional it just depends on your setup and sway bar - i ended up using the spacer with my nismo bars.
I believe it's explained here: post #164

From the top picture - doesn't look like the nyloc nut is fully engaged, do you have them upside down? Also, looks like the design requires you to remove the end-link to make adjustments to it?
What is all that grey stuff?

Thanks Kuah!

BTW, please put some blue loctite on the nut where the endlink goes to the lower arm, we test fitted the endlinks with normal flange nuts and forgot the nylock type nuts are taller, it appears that if you use the extra spacers the nylock part is not engaged. If you need the loctite just swing by and pick up a pack. We will start including the loctite with our front endlinks.

And yeah that's how they are suppose to go. The nut didn't engage all of the way because of the extra spacer I used.
Kuah I ended up putting red loctite all off of the bolts/nuts during installation just incase so I'm all good - thanks for the heads up though.

Holy Crap! That clicking up front is from my stock endlinks!?! That make a lot of sense! Now to do some research to see if they are worth getting...
Now is that clicking and poping a bad thing?

Thanks Will (Resolute) and Justin!
Sorry about the pricing, it did come out higher than we hoped, but we had to custom make too many components for these 350Z/G35 endlinks. We made the "bolts" (if you have seen one in person you know these are not off the shelf bolts), the spacers, the buckles, and for the rear endlinks we had to cut the rod ends to length. The nuts and rod ends are off the shelf parts, everything else came off a CNC machine. We engineered and made these specifically for the 350Z/G35...
