To be honest they look homemade, Most of the aftermarket ones worth anything have in car adjustability along with some form of a rotating joint on the upper end to help eliminate binding.

Is it possible I could add a Roto joint from UMI or BMR
It would probably be less expensive just to buy either brand plus you won't have to remove an end each time you make an adjustment.

Those sure look homemade,welds look strong but not very uniform.555 is definitely right,double adjustable is the only way to go.

If they are structurally sound, add a jam nut and use them. I never made any major suspension moves in my car in 15 years racing it. Once you get it set it’s done.

Ok I didn't think about adding a jam nut
I don't think a jam nut will really do anything since you would really only need them to lock it in position but with your style once it is bolted in the adjustment can not change.
