Default What size rod ends to get?

Trying to make a set of adjustable endlinks for my sway bar and i don't know what size to get. Can anyone help? They are staged in fractions. Is that the hole? If so what would be a good size to get for the stock sway bolts? This is for integra GSR with type r 22mm sway bar and nar spec LCAs.

Look at the racing supply shops like Truechoice, Racer Parts Wholesale, Pegasus, etc.. Also Alinabal and Aurora are among leading brand names if you want to Google them and find the threading and spherical ball sizes. The generic name (like Kleenex, Band-Aid, etc.) that rod ends or spherical bearings go by in Heim Joint so you could search that as well.

I would go by whatever bolt size is convenient for you. If you are mounting them pretty vertically, I rather doubt you would run into an issue with any rod end being too weak and bending from sway bar force so strength shouldn't be an issue. The factory Honda bolts are I think 10mm so I would go with a bearing ID as close to that as possible.
