sway bar link question

Iv got a 2006 l61 and going to be upgrading to a 2010 cobalt TC shock/spring/struts. I'm looking at some other little componets like the sway bar link bushing..are the polyurethane bushing be a good upgrade for the price? Any advice for products and vendors to look at..I am on a budget on this so nothing outrageous thanks

Upgrading the sway bar is worth it for sure. Ours is as thick as a dime and the others are at least a quarter thickness. The as/sc is 24 mm and SS/tc is 23 mm. It is kind of a pain in the ass to change though...

This is not true, your better out without it really, it all depends on what you want out of the car, more sway bar in front takes away from the rear, less in the front creates more turn in and less turn out and give more power to the rear bar. Honestly I would keep the fe1 bar, but Im more then willing to trade my front fe5 for a Fe1 + cash.

Endlinks I have been thru all of them and My favorite our the powergrids, very nicely built, adjustable, easy install and removal with the stud having a center allen wench spot to keep the universal from spinning during install/un install, definitely worth the money and the owner of the company Chip knows his stuff.

Ok good deal..we ship these parts to rock auto to sell to you they are one of our biggest customer..but the reason I ask is because before I tried with the Ss/Sc springs and stuff..and they are considered "aftermarket" to us..I.can still get these parts through our export which does aftermarket..there are tones of people over seas rebuilding old cars..one week we shipped out 30 small block chevys lol...but our company is little confusing..we have our disturbution centers where I work, then our own stores through out the U.S..sale most of all oem parts from a-z on most cars. Then we have our export side which is part of the company but they use a lot of 3rd parties in ordering aftermarket parts for customerc and their restores..but I just need to confirm somethings one on one with someone on this suspesion and what I can do and can't do as far as putting this Fe5 on my car..but basically could I take the full front off a Fe5 lnf and put it on my 06 fe1 or swap it..

Well basically what I want is just a little drop. Nothing much but also better handling, but thanks for the advice and help. I'll be looking more into it and also check out the powergrids

Id tell him to run an FE5 bar with a powell street/hardcore bar in rear.
And powergrids are almost 3x the price of the moogs which will be more than sufficient!
