    Looks good Frank. The brushed aluminum will go better with your valve covers and air cleaner.

    I would say stainless, only b/c the force that causes the shock towers to flex will pull the threads out of the aluminum over time. and where did you get the rod ends?

    I say go with the brushed finish so it matches the rest of your engine compartment. Looking good ...

    I knew there was a reason I stopped frequenting this forum. You people are not good for my addiction. I need a set now. Please post specs so I can have a set built. Or better yet, how much do you want for a set. That looks great.
