Check with Kar Tech or McKenzies in California.

Depends if you need to be able to adjust it and will have a link tube. Otherwise I would say just get right hand threads since jam nut replacements will be easier to find. Left and right threads are only neccessary if you have something like a tie-rod where you need to be able to adjust the length of something by turning a threaded tube in the middle. If I understand what you want the heims for they are only there for articulating joints and adjustment is setup once.
As far as that kit, I would check around first, you may be paying a bit more for having the parts all together not to mention you will be buying about 8 kits of these or more. Quality depends on metal obviously, but I know most of these suppliers sell these as their own when I think most come from the same manufacturers, usually China for the cheaper ones.
