Adjustable Front Sway Links

[Beej '86 325es]

I am thinking of making some adjustable front sway bar links and want to see if there is any interest from the rest of you if I decided to make more of them.

Ireland Engineering and BMPD sell these for $55 and $80 respectively. My goal is to make some which are stronger and won't corrode like most hardware supplied with suspension kits. It will use spherical bearings instead of rubber mounts. Cost I am thinking would be around what other tuners charge...only better parts of course.

Anyway, I'd like to get input from you guys if you'd be interested. Suggestions welcome.

Get heimends and use those, have a stud long enough to give you the adjustment you want. They shouldn't be too expensive or difficult to find/make.

That's helpful if you have an M3 or have the M3 sway bar mounting points welded to your strut tubes. But its helpful nonetheless.

I had never heard them called heimends before, but yes, those are the types of ends I would use...probably made of stainless steel or aluminum. The ST bar kit comes with something similar for the rear links, but they use a rod end with a zinc or cadium coating that just corrodes very quickly. The harder part of this is finding parts short enough because the non-M3 links are very short.
