Coilover Endlinks

[andrew.k]

Endlinks are necassary when slamming an e46 on coils. I've heard rumors that 2007-2009 Impala SS rear endlinks will do the job, can anyone verify?

Why not just get adjustable ones when you "slam" yo ride, bro? They're like $100.

Why would you go to the dealership.. LOL LOL

I got some for my old 330 from parts source, they were around $40 each.

And it depends what coilovers you get, sometime you can use OEM link.

I can confirm. I had impala ss on my e46.. Super heavy duty, price was reasonable.
They were the rears off a 5.8(or whatever the v8 was) impala ss....
Imho, adjustable endlinks are a complete waste of money. Why would anyone want an adjustable end link? Just sayin.

You apparently have no idea how a proper suspension is supposed to work.

That's why my cross balance is 50.1%.

You apparently need to go back to school.

I've never been to school for this stuff (practical experience and all that) ... where did you go?

So your cross is 50%, but do you have any preload on the bar? If not, and the bar ends are parallel to the horizontal, you got lucky. Most corner balances will need a slightly lower or heigher side, and without at least one adjustable link, it's impossible to bolt back on without preload. What if you want to change the ride height (you do know that ride height affects handling right?) What kind of dampers are you using?

What's your racing experience out of curiosity? How about race car building experience? It would be great to have another experienced racer on the forums to chime in with advice!

Another person that knows more than me.
This board is full of experts! Wicked.
Why don't you educate me how adjustable sway links are better than a solid one ?

[andrew.k]

Thanks Nero/V8 for the confirmation, I'll be picking those up today.

No problem. The ones I had were MOOG with greasable (servicable) joints.
