Please delete topic... I found answers already, thanks
The below pictures were posted in a topic over on the nicoclub forums by eazye2000 and reminded me about a few questions I have which are after the quoted post.
What I personally regret buying for my car...Hmm
The 'Motoria Suspension' setup. The heim joints SUCK.. They look very weak, and compared to others, seem very low quality. The rest of them look awesome, though. Maybe swap Heim Joints? Someone e-mail me for some good ones. e_appie(at)hotmail.com
Here's some pics.
The below picture is going to be considered the "race setup" seeing that both ends are adjustable so you can really fine tune the setup... a "street setup" will just be adjustable at the heim end because of the mileage that can be put on and the possibility of the jam nuts possibly backing off and then vibrations possibly causing the tubing to spin and mess up settings.

Explain to me the ends of the suspension parts where the heims are. I've always wondered about how the other companies are doing them. I see a bunch of hex heads (2?) and then the jam nut before the heims themselves. Is it all male/female threaded into one another to step down to the size of the heims? Could you take measurements of the heims? The ID of the hole for the bolts should be basically 12mm b/c that's what the bolts are but what size is the threaded part?
If those are just threaded in step downs its kinda lame... seems like it would be the weak link in the design... why wouldn't they use a larger heim and then just use a pressed in sleeve in the ball part of the heim to step it down to 12mm? That's my plan at least for when I redo the setup I'm working on and then set up a group buy.
Compare that to the 1st set I've made with the tubing a smaller size and tapped to fit heims... In the pics, it is .154 wall tapped for 5/8" heims with a bushing/sleeve reducing the 5/8" to 1/2" (This setup is going to be used on another project that is going to be running 1/2" bolts instead of 12mm, so don't worry).
This setup is going to be redone yet again... with some differences in the tubing used, better heims that will also of course be metric.
