Adjustable on the bar. The links are different than a stock type, and you move them to different holes on the bar, shortening the lever arm, stiffening the bar.

FYI: Due to sudden demand, I decided to make another run of these because there are folks that really need them. I'm going to hold the price @ $127.20 with shipping added (less than $10 in most cases).

But I'm only doing a VERY limited run because I don't need to be sitting on a lot of specialized parts forever. I'm simply letting you guys know because I've had inquiries about making more and promised I'd tell folks if/when I am.

All orders are final because these are special order. If you order them, I'm making them for you, and they will be yours. I'm submitting the order for production next Monday (one week from today). Snooze you lose because I need to get things rolling for those that have already placed orders.

This is not something I generally keep in stock. In fact they are a slow mover and I was clearing them out. But demand required another run. I don't know when that will stop--this could be the last run. As much as I hate to do it--I have to tell folks that if you think you want or need a set of these, to get them now because I might not make more in the future.

Nobody has "bought" them yet... like the springs, no charge until they are ready. I'm waiting in line for the machining to be done. Hopefully soon, but probably not before New Years.

You actually use a small propane torch to burn the old rubber out of the metal sleeves (we reuse those) and the new bushings just slip right in with a slight press fit and locate with a set screw.

I need about 5 more folks to order to make a run. Please note that the production will take a while as they have to be scheduled into production

Can someone post a photo of the stockers and these (or just these), so we can see what they are like and how they are different?

I don't even have a photo of mine. The difference is, the hole is offset and they are delrin vs. rubber. This allows you to turn them for either more or less negative camber than a normal bushing.
