Alright guys, I've decided to do a group buy to start off the sales of these bad boys. I'm looking to get several interested parties involved before I start manufacturing these. They replace the stock units with heims joints, to remove any flex that might be found in the stock units. They are also length adjustable to allow for weight jacking should you encounter a racing situation that would benefit from it. The hex will be made of stainless steel, so they won't corrode. The group buy price is going to be 120$ shipped to you. After the group buy, the retail will be $150 shipped. Any questions, just pm me, or post on here.

I already know Cali Yaris, whooppee, and m911gt.


Here are some pics of the kit, and them installed.

front roll stiffness... as well as the ability to weight jack, should you be racing on a course with say, more rights then lefts or vice versa

U can now take off the preload from your swaybarlinks if your car is lowerd. Or fine tune your suspention setup on track days. Especially for those really hard corners.

They are for the front sway bars. So they will increase front roll stiffness.

Start the list on the first post. Please provide payment info -- I'm in.

update for you guys, I received the wrong heims for the sway bar end links, so today I reordered the correct heims from a different supplier. The heims will now be FK Bearings. Hopefully they will be in soon, so I can start shipping these out to you guys.
Its not too late to get in on the group buy price, anyone else interested should pm me.

the only thing to remember is while doing it either have both wheels off the ground or neither. The rest is pretty basic stuff.

Okay so I got mine yesterday and installed mine today. Total install time was maybe 5 minutes but took about 15 minutes to get them adjusted to my like. I was fortunate enough to be able to use a drive on rack so all wheels were on the ground and had someone sit in the drivers seat that was about the same weight as me while i did the adjustment.

I adjusted first the passanger side till i was able to grab the link and feel a little wobble in it. Being no load. And adjusted drivers side till there was no load. Once on the ground and drive out you could feel the drivers side being much stiffer than the passanger side but when someone sitting in the car it was unstiff again. So like it should be the driver side swaybar link ended up being slightly shorter to compensate for the weight of the driver.

Going out for a test drive i cant notice much of a difference. Doing a quick lane changes and sharp turns i can tell a slight difference. I will have to drive it a few more days to really get a feel for it since its hard on public streets. But i can stay i do feel a something. Its nothing like when i put on my swaybar or strut bar but i do feel something.

I think as i drive it more and get used to it in a few weeks i will start playing with the adjustment.

Only suggestion i can make is that the tightening nuts should be a little larger. That way you can really get a good grip with a wrench on it. Also that way you are less likely to strip the thread when you try to really tighten it down.

But ofcourse if you ever did you could just take off the link and go to a local hardware store and find one.
