ok i got a FE1 car i plan on getting the FE5 front swaybar. should i get FE5 endlinks or just get some of those adj. Bwoody endlinks?? its a DD car just looking to make it handle a lil better

 

i would like to know as well how good the bwoody endlinks are if anyones got them

 

wow over 30 views and no one with bwoody endlink or any input on the matter????

 

XgunsmokeX,

where have you been looking at those endlinks, I may need some and need a good site to look at.

 

There's a member on here selling FE5 shocks and struts for $150

Jump on that ****!

Why would you be looking at the for sale ads when you owe someone 150 dollars? Thief

 

thanks Hack, I just PM'd him, I need those....I am completing my whole suspension upgrade for cheap as hell, I am on a role

also, where can I find those endlinks?

 

I would just go with stock parts for now

Good luck with your conversion

 

 

Ok I found the Bwoody endlinks, but they are $120, does anyone know where I can find the stock ones for sale??

 

CED GMpartsdirect dealer.



To the OP:
Bwoody links ARE NOT adjustable.

If the Koni Challenge Championship winning Cobalt doesnt need 3/4" endlinks......neither do you.

If you want the best endlinks available, you want what I run.(the Koni guys run them too)

Powergrid Inc. Adjustable endlinks

These have 10mm thick shafts and are adjustable. But be warned, its VERY easy to really screw up your handling with improperly adjusted links. Talk to Chip at Powergrid, they are great company to deal with in my experience



If you dont have the tools, skills or someone to setup these links for you your best bet is going to be to use the FE5 links, PN:15787554 . Theyll run you less than half of either of the aftermarket units EVEN if you pay full dealer list price. I'd suspect you could get a set for $50 though. And if they can get around the Nurburgring in 8:22 with those, theyll probably be fine on the street

 

umm yah dont want that junk got Konis

so best bet for a DD car is the stock FE5 then?

 

Yes. The best bet/deal/value for any car short of a fully sorted race prepped car is the FE5 links. If you NEED to spend money, get the Bwoodys, they make good stuff. If you have cornerweight scales and some time to waste, get some of the Powergrids.

 

awsome info Maven

 

haha if i need to spend money id get a vortec supercharger for my blazer xtreme lol

 

Well that would be a waste, you should be getting an LS3 swap

 

so again howd u install a Oil guage? what hole on the block did u use?

 

That was you??

Originally I used the first oil galley plug for the rear balance shaft. Its underneath the #2 exhaust port. But my hose got loose somehow and melted on the exhaust manifold.(cheap nylon hose that comes with mechanical gauges)

I'll be replacing it this week hopefully, and will be installing it in the last oil galley plug for the front balance shaft. If youve got a 2.4 intake this plug is easy to see, its just to the left of the oil filter housing. This will keep it away from heat, and will also make a much larger radius so I ont have to worry about making crazy loops or kinking my new braided stainless hose. Plus I need to keep the rear galleys open for a turbo feed. JK.....maybe.

 

Sorry to threadjack but is there a thread where I can see the story of Hack?

 

The poster i made for Angelo explains it

 

So if I need new swaybar endlinks, buy new stock ones? or are the bwoodys good to get? im thinking stockers work just as fine?

 

Depends on how quick you go through the stockers. I went through a few of them and decided I was sick of getting them replaced so I went with the powergrids...no complaints yet I'm going to mess around with adjustments this summer.

Powergrids are used on the koni challenge cars, before they had powergrids they couldn't even use there front swaybar.

 

troof......

 

I was going to go for the bwoody ones. still an upgrade tho?

 

For under $50 I'd pick up these FE5 endlinks... could you comment some more on how exactly they'd improve handling?
