Are the Moogs adjustable like the PowerGrids?

What's the benefits on powergrids over moogs besides adjustment?
What do powergrids sell for and where do you guys buy them from?

The Moogs need lubricated/greased. Something to keep in mind so you don't forget. It's not hard or anything if you have the right grease gun, but it is something extra.

I would personally prefer the maintenance free PowerGrids, but each their own.

I have a set of Moogs on my LS that is lowered and has a FE5(SS/SC) sway bar and I love the combo but I also got the sway bar at the same time I got the Moogs...

As mentioned somewhere before:
Price;
Quality; or
Quantity.
Pick 2.

There is a difference between something being cheap and something being overpriced.

Fine line between getting moneys worth and wasting it.

i just put the moog fe5s on mine, i really liked them and got them for dirt cheap with some coupon i used at advanced auto. paid 30 for both and love them. they give you much less roll on turn in because they dont have rubber bushings. the fe5s fit mine perfectly so i didnt really find a need for adjustable endlinks and therefore saved over 100 bucks

I went with moog end links. I'm happy with them and don't have to worry every time I hit a bump on these crapy nj roads. Same reason I went with moog cab's.

I have no idea what Bate's lifters cost, but they will need machined too, so factor that in as well.

I would go with the BLE adjustable lifters. You adjust them yourself and won't need a machine shop. I think they cost about $300?

If you're creative, you can also figure out a way to shim the stock lifters, that would work as well. We've tried with tiny washers, but they move around too much with the oil.

Powergrids will out live your car. there built tough, no lubing needed, very thick boot seals, I look it at it like this, but it once and buy it right.

so would the moogs, i would think there the same strength as pgs but they arent adjustable. the only benefit of that would be if you wanted to be slammed and needed really long endlinks but then why would you track it?
