After a closer look I realized that most of the components are off the shelf, but the expander bolt and spacers are custom. The rod ends are TRW and the heim joints are from FK Bearings. So I ended up making a project out of it and made my own set

Nice work! This has to be the least expensive option, and I was thinking of the same using individual components sold plus stock tie rod. But I ended up with the whole rods with bump steer kits as my car is 2” lowered. If your car is lowered to the point that stock rod with elliptical bolt can’t get the toe right, I guess you may experience bump steer unless the joint at the hub carrier is lowered that the stock tie rod won’t.
