I would change out sway bar if a 4 link went in. That's a lotta weight gone with the stock pieces out 
Maybe set up some tabs on the front links for the sway bar if I ever need it. Started writing down numbers to figure what types of tube or metal stock and found piercemotorsports.com Jim Pierce from California sells a bolt and go set up online for RallyEscorts and Velosters and one other car... Cool stuff but definitely heavy like JVL said. Big chunks of aluminum to match the stock links would do fine,no? |
. I drilled the center to 1/2" then lathed down the end to 3/4" about 1/4" deep. then cut them off at the length I needed them to be.

Good idea... Thecoleman racing site has nice tubes .....and a set of heims from phelps racing. All inexpensive enough to afford replacements
Might need a spacers rom JVL to fit the joint properly and keep angles Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/15/2013 11:58AM by Clayto. |
