looking into getting some new endlinks from Grey for the rear swaybar...
These are an alternative to the Hotchkis end links which sell for $150 shipped. People have been having problems with their stock end links breaking, so these end links will solve that problem. Hotchkis only sells them in sets of four. These sell in sets of two and four.
This latest design solves the problem of thick sway bar mounting points by getting rid of the thick support washers. The thick support washers are only needed at the lower control arm mounting points where the OEM metal is thinner than the sway bar mounting point metal.
Kit 2EL: For any aftermarket or OEM sway bar. (front or rear)
- Two endlinks priority shipped to anywhere in the USA. $65.75
- Two endlinks priority shipped to anywhere in Canada. $71.00
Kit 4EL: For any set of aftermarket or OEM sway bars. (front and rear)
- Four endlinks priority shipped to anywhere in the USA. $103.55
- Four endlinks priority shipped to anywhere in Canada. $109.00
Kit 2EL-P: For any rear sway bar (aftermarket or OEM) with the Progress mounting kit.
- Two endlinks priority shipped to anywhere in the USA. $65.75
- Two endlinks priority shipped to anywhere in Canada. $71.00
Kit 4EL-P: For any set of aftermarket or OEM sway bars with the Progress mounting kit.
- Four endlinks priority shipped to anywhere in the USA. $103.55

Rep Power: 0 this week, Ill be installing a new clutch, clutch master cylinder, and slave cylinder. Also resurface the flywheel, and Ill probably throw in my ES motor mount bushings at the same time. I cant wait for all this, mostly so I can drive my damn car again. I also fixed my ICU, it saves my settings now. and I finished up the dash this weekend. Everythings coming together nicely right now. Cars lookin a lot cleaner now with the dash fixed, my car rewired, and everything hidden nicely. My new clutch is gonna kick *** though!!!!! I cant wait for it. No more slipping.

Rep Power: 0 I remember you telling me about that, I didn't use a clear coat because it's already shiny and doesn't need a protectant.

Rep Power: 0 I still havent installed these bushings. It really sucks. Not like I can drive it anyways. and it will be longer now til its fixed. SLP was out of the Exedy Organic clutches, and nobody has them in stock. I found this out 6 days after paying it off. So now I am gonna get the ACT Heavy Duty either with the 6puck raceor organic puck street. Anybody have a recommendation on what would be better for daily driver. well the street one, but whats better?? any clue? how would the 6puck drive, would it be a firm *** clutch, harder engagement than the organic??

I need to take contract writing in 1.5 weeks, and fingerprints, than Ill be finished with school, and get to go take the 2 last exams. than Im in the money. My dad and his partners (who do what Ill be doing, Im gonna split commissions with my dad, and his friend and another guy split the other half, already cleared up my money situation) just sold 1700 acres today that they bought a month or two ago, for $3000 more per acre. They are each walking away with over a million dollars. about 5,000,000 split 4 ways. He was so excited today, lol. I cant wait for my commissions. I will get a M3, plus K24/20 fully built hopefully making 700hp boosted like hell of course, possibly nitrous as well. Strictly a track car than. But my girls lifted truck will bring that to the track. So many car parts coming my way.

No doubt. I loved how cold it was in the morning, but now it's a little toasty
