Adjustable Sway bar link Group buy!

[rs4pro3]

Ok Another update, I called my supplier again to see what in the hell was going on, the stuff finally shipped Tuesday and according to UPS will show up tomorrow. I'm just hoping everything is there, as my Supplier really screwed me this time, in the past they always have shipped quickly but not this time. I apologize again to everyone for the delay, and hopefully will be able to start shipping links out friday depending on what time UPS shows up.

it's cool, as long as they're here by my track day in june. :)

[rs4pro3]

Well I sure hope so. When is your track day? I'm going to ship out links in the order in which I was paid, so should be able to get yours out monday

I don't have any swaybar hooked up right now; I could make the links I have work but they need some modification and I'd rather not spend time on them since they are being replaced anyway.

It's just a lapping day though so it's not a huge deal, but of course I'd like to have it hooked up again to see how it feels.

I missed this somehow, they look good!

Well ****@@@@!!*@**@ Got the order today, opened it up and my supplier fucking sent me the wrong part for the most important item. Ordered 28 MALE shanked rod ends and they sent me 28 FEMALE shanked rod ends(despite the invoice in the box saying Male shanked). Just called them and there is nothing they can do till Monday when they can find out if they can fix it or not. I'm about to just order them from another source for double the price and just say FUCK them. With what they sent me I can't even make one complete pair of links. Again everyone I'm so sorry for the delay, I'll probably just go ahead and order other rod ends for twice as much as they can be at my door by Tuesday, where as I doubt that my current supplier could get me the stuff by Thursday of next week. Any ways I'll keep every one updated.

Ely, what is the main difference in the female rod ends? with they thread into the aluminum rod, but they don't have the studs on the ends? if so, that would actually work better for my application.

[rs4pro3]

Female Shank


Male Shank


The Center turnbuckles for m3/ix front links and the lower rod ends for the front and rear standard links are all Female, and well a Female end won't thread into another Female end. So what they sent me won't work and they aren't even studded rod ends, which isn't a huge deal as I could use a bolt instead. So with what they sent me I can only assemble one half off each style sway bar link.

I'm more then likely just going to go ahead and order the more expensive rod ends, It's just that it's a $200 chunk of change out of my pocket in the mean time, while waiting to see if my supplier will even fix the problem. The lady I talked to said she had to get approval to see if she can exchange the items out As they have a no returns policy on online orders which has never been a problem as I've always gotten the right parts in the past. I've placed 20 some odd orders with this same company over the last 3 years, needless to say after this they won't be getting any more business from me unless they truly try to make this right by overnighting the correct parts at no extra charge.

lol.

Ok another update, I just went ahead and ordered the more expensive rod ends from McMaster Carr so that way I can get the links out the door. I'll just demand that my supplier gives me a refund and lets me send back the wrong parts, as I don't want to make every one wait longer while they fix there mistake. They are almost a comparable rod end to what I normally order but they are not studded rod ends, so instead they will just have a bolt threw the end. Which makes no difference at all in performance just more parts to have to deal with.

Any chance I'll have mine by Saturday?

[rs4pro3]

I should have the parts tuesday sometime, so being sent priority mail there is a good chance, I'm doing the best to get the links out as quick as possible, but basically right now my supplier has screwed me out of $190 which is what it's cost to order the items needed from the other supplier.

Proper adjustment of them seems pretty intuitive, but can you give me a quick run-down just to confirm my assumptions?
