Ryan, Can you adjust these on the car or do you have to disconnect the rod end & jamnut to do the adjustment? Also, how much does the set weigh?
Sorry, just saw hte first picture and it looks lit you have to take it off for adjustment.
Thanks

Does anyone know if these are any quieter than the BadZ ones? I'm about ready to scream if I have to listen to them bang anymore. Everyone that gets in my car swears that the rear end is gonna fall out.

That's why I am looking into these as well. Not so much the noise or rough ride, but I don't like the non-existant dampening effects that comes from these rigid components. The excessive vibration could krack my exhaust or a hanger and buy buy very expensive duals.

Unfortanultly they you do have to take them off the car to adjust them. The only time this ever is a issue is if you need to adjust the PHB, otherwsie your lower control arms should never be a issue because really there is no need to adjust them.
As for weight, I do not know the exact weight, I will have to check. But a shipped package for UPS weighs 16lbs, so right around there.
Hope that helps!

Ryan, in your post you state that the polyurethane bushing side is bolted to the chassis for quiet comfortable operation, but in the picture it shows the spherical joint bolted to the chassis with the bushing bolted to the rear axle. Which one would be correct? I ask this for 2 reasons, one to clarify instructions for anyone who gets these and two, to know if I installed mine (Spohn's) correctly. The instructions did not clarify which end went where on my set so I just assumed (i know) the bushed in bolted to the chassis, or frame side, would provide more isolation than having the bushed end attached to the rear axle. Incedentally mine can be adjusted while they are attached with the wheels off and if you have the correct wrenches with them attached in this manner.

The ad is correct, the poly bushings are to be bolted to the chassis. If you look really close at my picture you see on that car we are running the poly/poly control arms, not our adjustable version.
Sorry for the confusion, I have not had a chance to post any updated pictures. That picture is more to just give a consumer a idea of where they go and it also shows the adjustable panhard bar installed and in place. Hope that helps!

Thanks Ryan for the reply. How difficult will it be to center the rear and dial in the LCAs being not on-the-car adjustable? I guess I will have to take measurements and then unbolt-rebolt it until I get it right. Soon as you unbolt the rods, Isn't the rear is gonna shift again?. I will have to think about it since you have very nice, high quality products. Thanks again

Thanks Ryan, I did not notice that. I thought the shiny part up in the subframe connectors was part of the heim joint or adjusting nut. Someone else was thinking the same thing hence their comment that they would have to unbolt the LCA's to adjust them. If the adjustment is on the back, they should be able to adjust them while they are still attached. Perhaps if they have some luck (and the right size wrenches instead of a crescent wrench) they may not even have to pull the wheels off.

I already received mine today fellas.
Very nice looking pieces and excellent packaging too!
I can hardly wait to get these on. If I didn't have a funeral to go to this afternoon/evening they'd be going on now. Then I leave to go deer hunting for the weekend etc... so I'll have to wait until early next week.
Thanks again Ryan and keep up the great service!
