mmm...poly end links

looking to burn my small amounts of cash, i picked up some Energy suspension poly end links for my Sport Coupe.

Installed them will no hassle in about 25 minutes, my kinda deal.

Anyways... with the old sagging, worn out stock springs, and some sweet gabriel struts/shocks, I took her for a spin.

The front end was noticeably more responsive. They didn't help in ride quality, but handling was a notch better. Seemed to have a little more steer in the bendies.

Well, now I'm a firm believer in the gift of Polyurethane, and will soon get a set for the rear sway bar, and start saving for some new shocks/struts/springs.

over and out,
Brandon

After I put poly links on the front and back of mine, I was a believer too. Also Advanced sell HD versions of our links that are poly that run $6.13 a set. A bargin in my eyes.

If you noticed that much difference in the front links, wait til you get the rear links installed. Those made a huge difference on my car. Then again, I have the 36/24 WS6 combo on my car.

The rear swaybar mounts made a big difference too. I'm going to be ordering some front swaybar mounts and a torque arm mount mid-way through this week when I have time.

They even work better if they are actually torques to spec too :-)

I believe its roght around 15-17 ft lbs depending on your suspension, WS6 or not.

I know the spec sheet has been posted here too, I cant find mine at the moment

Just something to note, since people here never like to torque anything.

later
