Quick swaybar question(s)
Are the front and rear endlinks on our cars identical? Also what's the sleeve length?

Lon, since you answered my question, what is so special about the GM 1LE endlinks that you sell on your site? They are twice as expensive as a comparable ES set.

Special? They are not special. I do have to amortize the cost of plating them into the price though. I try to price them competitively.

Let me ask it a different way.
GM 1LE Nylon-bushed endlink 10221779
$9.16 each or your zinc-plated version for $14.35.
VS.
Energy Suspension Polyurethane endlink set (2)
9-8117
$14 from Summit.
What are the pros/cons of using each?

Unless you plan to compete in F-Stock class of SOLO ll it won't effect you. Use whichever you want, they are comparable.

Sorry if this is repetitive, but I just really want to make sure. I can use these endlinks for the front AND back of my Camaro?

Yes. I don't have a Prothane catalog, so I don't have a picture of them. But they should fit both front & rear sway bars.

I determine the diameter of sway bars by measuring them with digital calipers set to metric mode.

Then I may have the wrong parts here. I ordered ES front and rear endlinks and they were slightly different in length. I havent put them in yet so I'm not sure what the old ones looked like.

According to the GM p/n diagrams on Deadbird's site, the front and rear endlinks are exactly the same. The part number is 464167.
I just wanted to say that I have found the answer I originally asked in print. It's not that I don't trust Lon's answer, I just felt this thread was starting to ask the same question all over again.

The sleeves should be the same length. I used ES kits and they are the same part number, although the sleeves are about 3/8" longer than the stock ones were.

Just a FYI, I've re-priced the TDS 207080 1LE plated end link kits and some other suspension items also. Basically I elliminated offering these to my wholesale customers. Since my wholesale customers weren't beating down my doors to purchase these for re-sale, I can now reduce the prices.
BTW, the glitches on my site that prevented you from registering or purchasing online have been fixed.
