Front and Rear Spherical Sway bar linkages

[Axxe]

Will you ship to Canada as a "gift" so I can avoid customs?

No problem, I have been shipping my Porsche sway bar links to 5 different countries as gifts.

I've done a bit of research, and will be modifying my rear swaybar links to accomodate ride height changes. Lowered cars, such as mine, would benefit from a shorter link so that it is perpendicular to the ground. If you take a look, the stock sway bar links (or mine set to stock length) in the rear are greatly angled towards the front of the car on lowered cars.

When there is a great angle, the sway bar is flawed.

Quick question: How do you get the rear link on the rear swaybar? It's notched at the end, right?

Also, would you be interested in sending about half a dozen to Canada for a group buy? I'm sure I can drum up some interest on maX, since most guys have old crusty stock ones (like me).

I could do a GB. I have to personally weld the rear link. It's a collar clamp welded to an m10 bolt. I came to this design after several other attempts. The link just slides on as it has a 12mm bore (just like all e30 swaybars on the very ends).

It might take me 1-2 weeks to get some of the necessary parts and ship (im busy with school during the weekdays), but I'm definitely up for it.

All right, I'll see how many guys are interested on maX, any chances on price breaks?

[IS]

Sure. Let me know how many people you get and well go from there. Thanks.

Seems like there is some interest in IX and M3 front links. I have the hardware priced out and ready to order IF there is some demand.

My price will be $70 + shipping for either IX or M3 adjustable front links. The turnbuckle will be gold zinc coated aluminum and the spherical rod ends will be silver zinc coated. Left and right hand threads for easily adjustability while still installed on the car.

Would anyone be up for a pair?

m3 front links and normal rear links would prolly be the best package. which i would be down for as soon as i get my m3 tabs welded up to my struts...

What does that mean? How will the car act?

[IS]

Basically, when there is an angle, the bar will also move front and back (afterall, there is slop in the center sway bar mounts) because it will try to straighten the link before it starts to move the sway bar torsionally (as it is designed to do).

When ordering, you'll have to specify how much your car is lowered so I can compensate for the geometry change.

my bushings are dry rotted, need to be replaced, so maybe i'd do this.

go a bit more into the m3 rear sway bar upgrade though, I'm not familiar with this

[IS]

Its the same idea as the front links - the ability to eliminate pre-load. I was commenting on the range of adjustment for the rear links above. Due to the design, they need to be able to adjust to a shorter length than stock on lowered cars, approximately equal to the amount lowered. This will ensure proper geometry of the swaybar.

Yeah but, how will it feel?
I know what it'll do but I'm not a racer and don't know what this
change will FEEL like.

Or is it that the lowered car will have more stess on the bar and that's it?
My car is pretty slamed with 2.5''f and 2.0"R I think the Ie stage3 springs are at.

I can't say how it will "feel" on your car. I'm not going to BS you and say that this will transform your suspension.

The main purpose of these is to eliminate pre-load and make your car more balanced.

I have them on my car and it is an improvement.

I'm interested in a set of rear links, but would like a picture of how the rear link attaches to the sway
