here are adjustible front swaybar links from TRG and agency power. the agency power heim joints are puny and kept braking. the TRG parts (i'm using gt2 swaybar links) are engineered rather than just put together. the TRG links give better range of motion and don't bind. at max lock the agency power links tightened up and tended to brake right at max lock. even though vividracing promptly sent me replacements, after my third set of heim joints, i was done with agency power... at least with their front sway bar links.

I know what you mean Karlooz. I had a couple of customers that bought them only to have the same thing happen I did tell Vivid Racing back in the day but not sure they took note of it.
