Probably the most overlooked suspension component in the performance world is the sway bar / anti roll bar end-link.
This simple component attaches the sway bar to each end of the suspension so the sway bar can do its job; promoting flat cornering of the vehicle in a turn.
This simple component can drastically hurt your car's performance if not optimized, especially in a BMW where high sway bar rates [and therefore high stresses] are common.

A sway bar with fixed length links can induce a load into any two cross-corners of your vehicle. The ability to neutralize the sway bar in your suspension system is a great advantage to baseline, balance, and refines your vehicle's handling characteristics. These links have achieved this by creating adapters that integrate current sway bar link technology to the traditional sway bar architecture. A worth while upgrade for any modified BMW.

Common issues with incorrect type or set up of drop links :

-Have you ever had a sway bar link bend..?
-Do you know if you are having suspension bind due to insufficient sway bar end link articulation (or simply poor design, bad bushing, etc)..?
-Have you ever had a sway-bar link fail at the welded joint between the ball and the link..?
-Do you want to properly corner weight your car..?

All these common issues that your vehicle may have had are addressed with this set.

These sway bar end links are the best solution, and unlike many others on the market these INCLUDE WEATHERPROOF "BOOTS" to help prevent the early demise of "open" type of drop link joints through corrosion / clogging .

Eliminate sway bar pre-load that adversely affects handling, strengthen your suspension, and truly optimize your setup with this strong Adjustable Sway Bar Link Set!... With no penalty, these links are quiet, just like OE links.

Put Simply: no matter at what ride height, stock or otherwise, OEM sway bar links are a weak link (literally) and add preload to your suspension. These adjustable links are superior to all other designs and unlike the upgraded units that may have come in your aftermarket sway bar kit, these have no polyurethane to squeak, tear, or blow out on the track.
These links feature a THK ball socket that is pre-lubricated, and sealed for durability and prolonged life. THK is an OE manufacturer for Porsche, Nissan, Honda, Ford, GM, Toyota and even BMW.

Ford In developing the new OEM suspension for their 2010 GT500, found these links made such a difference the factory test drivers believed the prototype sway bars had been re designed and they became OE equipment of this model. Thats an improvement!

The Benefits of This Design Over the OEM Sway Bar Links are:
•Heavy Duty Ball Socket Joint has excellent strength and life, never require servicing
•Large Diameter Link Rod to Resist Bending
•Designed for he needs of Racing and track use, and a Perfect Upgrade/ Replacement for Street Use!
•No Welded Joint to Fail
•Adjustable Design to Enable Corner Weighing and Swaybar Pre-load Adjustment and Yet Still Meet Racing Class Requirements
•High Mis-Alignment Design to Prevent Suspension Coil Bind (even better than spherical joints!)
•Joints are pre-greased and have a water-tight seal.
•Precision joint allows smooth operation.

WHEN ORDERING PLEASE SELECT REQUIRED PRIMARY LENGTH OF LINKS REQUIRED, 60,75, 85 OR 90 MM (See below to help you choose)
Tech Tip:
Measurements below are at stock ride height.
Longer or shorter length may vary accordingly to your ride height, geometry, clearance issues under the chassis around intercoolers/ oil coolers, body components, etc.
A good start is to order a longer length if your car is more than 1.5" lower than stock Here are some stock lengths, the Powergrid pieces are adjustable to fit the closest size application:

•E30 (M3), E24, E28, E34: front 60mm
•E36 M3: Front 60mm
•E39: Front 60mm (Stock Height. We recommend using 75mm if Lowered)
•E46 M3: Front 75mm
•E90: Front 60mm
•E60: Front 90mm

Note:
-End links do not fit non-M3 E36 (except 325i/is produced before 06/1992)
-Does not fit E30 rear, call or email for our kit for the E30 rear.
