end links
Just wondering if anyone had tried sway bar end links like this. Curious if they make a difference over traditional style http://www.westcoastfiero.com/suspen...ion_parts.html

Re: end links
It would probably transition a lot of road noise but I've heard good things about them in the past.

Hahaha, actually having seats that were on a spherical type setup would be terrible. You turn the car left and your seat tilts over to the right.

Re: end links
They probrably would transfer more road noise. Noticed that when I switched my rear control arms to the dbl adj rod ends. If your considering buying these I wouldn't think noise is the top concern. I think I'm going to try a set of these out

Ever get around to it? I'm building a RR/Auto-X car and those look intriguing.

I already have all rod-end stuff, delrin front a-arm bushings, my car is going to be far from street friendly. Ive honestly been contemplating solid end links, these are a little pricier but I like the idea.

Alot CT'ers in this post, have you run at lime rock Flip? I'm over on the other side of the state on I-395. I live about 15 minutes from Thompson Speedway which is opening a 1.7 mile road course next season.

I'll more than likely end up running those end links. I like the idea of them and it makes sense, almost every newer car runs end links with ball style joint. Most are plastic and suck but they allow full articulation as these do. But these are actually set up for our cars.
