I feel that this is a good deal and shouldn't be passed, but I was wondering what the family thought? I know Chirs (Hokie) had these on the ZHP and seemed to really like them. The more important question is what does everyone think about needing to get the new endlinks? Seems like I may be able to get them from hotchkiss cheap/free.
Any thoughts?

Great deal, grab um and just get some adjustable end links from Turner if hotchkis won't replace for free.

Wow, great deal. Wish I'd seen that one before buying my new Hotchkis front sway from BimmerWorld. AFAIK, they don't come with front swaybar links, only rear links. At least my front bar didn't come with links. I used stock end-links for a week without any funny noises, then put on Ground Control adjustable end-links. In my case, using stock end links would only work on softest setting for the front bar; choosing the middle or stiffer setting looked like it would make the bar ends hit something.

No need for adjustable end links unless yours are seized, or your car is lowered.
Just IMO. Sometimes the hassle isn't worth it

I'm not lowered. I just want to stiffen it up in the corners. Why do you think the endlinks are making that noise? Could it be car specific?
I have been in talks with him, so I may be coming home with some new sways!

Correct.
My suggestion was based on if you're gonna buy why not set yourself up in case you ever do want to get lowered instead of having to buy new ones again?
Price difference isn't that bad anyways.

Seth,
Good advice. The guy is holding them until Friday when I can get to him and give him the money. I will check everything out. After talking with him, he said that it only makes a slight "popping" sound when going over speed bumps.
On top of that, I have already sent an email to Hotchkis whom I have read will replace them for free becuase they changed the type they were using. We will see if the happens or not. If so, I could have some Hotchkis sways for $200... which makes me happy.

... And how difficult are sways to install? I don't have a lift, but have access to jack stands. Is that enough?
