They clear the exhaust just fine

Yeah, even on my rally car with massively more suspension travel than most SE-Rs, it comes nowhere near hitting the exhaust.

Mine clear my 3" exhaust with no issues and my rubber hangers are crappy. New poly ones on the way.

They could also be fabricated from chromoly or DOM radius rods. Let me know if anyone is interested and I will see what's possible $ wise

don't mind the rust from my cage plate...

what is the price of this for b13?

Aluminum B13 Rear LCAs
$285 w/ economy style rod ends.

The aluminum version is only recommended for street, road race, and drag race applications and will need to be periodically inspected/maintained. With your choice of rod end, the aluminum kits will include:
(4) CNC machined radius rods with wrench flats.
(16) CNC machined steel rod end spacers.
(4) RH jam nuts
(4) LH jam nuts
(8) Protective rubber boots.

Chromoly B13 Rear LCAs
$315 w/ economy style rod ends.T

The chromoly version is very versatile and recommended for street, road race, drag race, and rally race applications. Also with your choice of rod end, the chromoly kits will include:
(4) TIG welded radius rods.
(16) CNC machined steel rod end spacers.
(4) RH jam nuts
(4) LH jam nuts
(8) Protective rubber boots.

Both materials have their advantages and disadvantages. Here's a list off the top of my head.

Aluminum Pros:
-Greater corrosion resistance, does not require coating or paint
-Comes standard with wrench flats for easy installation and maintenance.
-Less mass compared to the chromoly version
-Less expensive to machine and fabricate
-Widely available

Aluminum Cons:
-Will only accept 5/8-18 shank rod ends.
-Less fatigue strength compared to the chromoly version. This means that you should periodically inspect the control arms for any signs of damage or stress.

Chromoly Pros:
-Can be fabricated with either 5/8-18 or 3/4-16 shank rod ends.
-Greater fatigue strength compared to the aluminum version. Less maintenance required...these will most likely out last the car!
-Very versatile, can be used in many different applications.
-Has pretty TIG welds

Chromoly Cons:
-Will need a protective coating to prevent corrosion/rust.
-Currently does not include wrench flats, but we're working on a solution.
-Greater mass compared to the aluminum version.
-Custom made, not always available.
-More $
