I wouldn't run a stainless steel rod end in this application - its strength is far less than an alloy steel.

Even a cheaply casted heim will be strong enough if it stayed perfectly maintained, right? I've always thought environmental resistance was the primary concern for tie rod ends, not the tensile strength. I figure stainless would have the best resistance of them all? I've never bought any since they're ~3x more expensive than the best alloy joints, even in bulk.
Either way, the cro-moly stuff looks awesome, performs perfectly (I've used these same joints in every possible spot on my S14 for years with no signs of wear), and I offer a lifetime warranty. Hope to stock more in the near future, and am going straight to the manufacturer to have "Jordan Innovations"-branded heims made this year as well in a few popular sizes, M14x1.5 being one of them.
