FYI to anyone on the fence about a kit. I have TWO kits left ready to ship, and then they are out of stock again for a few weeks.

On another note, the V/S40 links are at the plater's geting plated as we speak, and should be ready in a few days.

Very interested in a set of these. I'm estimating shipping to SA at about $70?

I don't think it will be that much. I have sent them to Ukraine, Hong Kong, UK, and a few other faraway places and the most shipping cost was about $40.

got mine V3??? They look saaaweeeett.....can't wait to put them on when I do the suspension this weekend :) What was it, 7 turns, that everyone is doing? I don't know what to do, and don't want to keep taking them off to adjust, so if everyone likes 7, then I'll do 7!

You don't have to remove them to adjust. Just loosen the lock nuts and turn the rod. Don't forget to tighten the lock nuts again. :)

WOW is one way of putting it.

I just installed my new endlinks yesterday and even on the shortest setting, they made a huge difference. I have a lot less body roll and I haven't even played around with adjusting them yet.

Good work Slater!!!

The shortest setting would be the stiffest, so yes, you would notice. :)

now that i got my wheel key back, i have to see what's rattling in there, and make them a bit shorter!

just loosen the lock nut and turn the shaft of the link with a wrench right?

Correct.

Just make sure when you tighten them the rod ends are parallel with one another as per the instructions, and everything is tightened enough.

I guess that is what is confusing to me. According to the instructions that came with the links, the shorter the links, the more body roll....the longer the links the less body roll. I always thought the idea was to achieve less body roll for better, flatter handling.

I have them set to the shortest setting but have significantly less body roll than before.

It's probably due to the fact that my old links were so shot.

ANY setting with the new links will reduce body roll just due to the nature of the design. They are 10xs stronger than the stock links, allowsing the sway bar to work properly. The SWAY BAR is what reduces body roll. That is why you are seeing reduced body roll at the shortest setting.

Making them longer will reduce understeer, which is not recommended for everyone. You have to know what you are doing and why you need a certain length. It may because you have particular needs for autoxing, or a certain sway bar combination, or your wheel base set a certain way with spacers. The adjustable links are just another suspension tuning tool, and like any tool should be used when needed. This is why I recommend you keep the links at the stock settings (i.e. shortest) unless you NEED to change them for a good reason.

So I would just keep them where they are now. That's where I have mine.
