I`m thinking of improving my suspension setup, and need some ideas for some stuff that`s "easy" to put together.

What the hell is a uniball Nope? lol 
Do you mean a heim joint? What is a drop link? The rear sway bar links or the rear lateral links...
Some have made rear lateral links and transverse links (I think that is the proper name) as well as sway bar links using threaded tubing and heim joints. The problem is getting joints that can withstand the abuse and dirt for more than a short period of time. The sway bar links do not take much abuse, but the lateral and transverse links do and will wear a average set of heims out pretty quickly. MOCA is currently working on making a set of heim links for the sway bars (front and rear). The cost is pretty nice since the best joints are expensive and we needed a new set of OEM joints to measure off of. I just got the OEM joints today so we can start with the measuring and ordering of the heim joints and rod. I'll post more when we get a result.
What do you do with your car? I know you race it, but how often and specifically what type of racing? Luke of SRD and a few others did the full rear suspension. I hear that it makes the ride VERY harsh since you loose ALL rubber bushings from the rear end. Without a roll cage to help the body stay rigid you chance the metal unibody deforming or even tearing at a seam. I wouldn't recommend the heim joint rear end unless the car is strickly for racing and you have at least a half cage.
However, see if you can find a memeber who has Actually done it and ask them about it. Alot better to get info from a source than me who has only read about others experience with it.
