To make sure you have enough for a couple variables you would order.
1) 5- 11 inch bars.
2) 3- 12 inch bars.
3) 20 heims  (10 right and 10 left
4) A panhard bar
5) and an upper link bar

3)20 heims  (12 right and 8 left

The count for the required amount of rod ends is a total of 20 but they are equally divided at 10 left & 10 right.

Yes, heim joints you would need 10 RH and 10 LH.
Radius rods depend on how you set the car up.
You will need:
1- 23.5" Panhard bar
1- 6.5" Upper link
6- 11" or 12" bars depending on your set-up, but 6 is what the car takes

I am not a USLC dealer, so my rods do not have an INEX stamp
