DIY ADJUSTABLE sway bar links

Need sway bar links? Why not make your own? It's easy and cheap!
I decided to do this because I couldn't find replacement sway bar links readily available for my 1987 Toyota MR2. I had two options. One was to buy aftermarket adjustable sway bar links which are honestly overkill and waste of money for a car that will be driven mostly on the street. The other option was to get them from the dealership. Weirdly enough Toyota still stocks these but I was quoted an obscene price of 450 EUR (480$) for two pairs of sway bar links.
So I decided to make my own.
Making them is super simple and here are the steps.

Step 1: Find the length of sway bar links you need. Look it up online, measure your existing ones if you have them or lift your car up and measure the distance between your sway bar and strut or wherever else they are mounted on your car.
Step 2: Buy sway bar links. You can buy the cheapest links you can find, but they have to be longer than you need and the studs have to fit through your sway bar hole and your strut mounting hole.
Step 3: Get an angle grinder and cut down to size. Measure twice cut once.
Step 4: Thread the rod ends using a threading die. This is the trickiest part of this diy project as human hands aren't accurate and if you're not careful you can end with a uneven thread. I suggest putting the threading die in a table vise which will give you more control and better results.
Step 5: Assemble the sway bar link using two nylock safety nuts and one extended nut
Step 6: Install the sway bar links
Step 7: You can adjust sway bar preload by making the links longer or shorter

And that's pretty much all there is to it. A simple solution for having sway bar links on cars where replacements are hard or impossible to find.
Before you say that this is a horrible, cheap, ghetto fix I would like to say that the forces sway bar links are exposed to are never going to be enough for this to be any sort of a safety issue or concern. I have seen amateur drift cars with these installed and they are sitting there for ages without any issues at all. That being said, these are great for street driven cars but I don't see them as a permanent solution for heavy duty applications like track, drift, autocross and so on. For heavy duty stuff it's best to invest into heavy duty equipment.
