I believe 1151 bough some in the past, as they allow for proper corner balancing, however I am not sure he noticed much with them.

I did pick these up like 2yrs ago or so, right around same time I scored the Megan coil overs.

I had intended on getting my SHO corner balanced so as to have better response on those couple occassions I road coursed her.....

But the nearest facility to me, was 1.5hrs away. So, never got it done. Least not yet. I still may (& can, since they're on the car). But corner balancing can be fairly pricey to have performed. At the time, price quotes I was provided, were in the $600- $700 range.

If you order them, be sure to say hello to Chip (owner of the company) he's a blast to talk with, and oddly enough, another company based out of MI.

Chip's definitely unique! I had a conversation with him about endlinks on my Cobalt SS Turbo and it transferred over to my Mustang. I told him I bought a set of front endlinks for the Mustang (revised GT500 aluminum factory endlinks) and noticed the balljoints are the same ones he sources out - he then told me the story about how Ford came up with that particular solution. They made a slight if not negligible difference on the Cobalt SS Turbo (those stock links were garbage, kept seeping out grease) but then again that car was designed from the get-go for Nordschleife/road racing and has much better lateral grip than the SHO.

Which sway bar link is better for the SHO : Powergrid or Racingline ?? Thanks

Hellooooooooooo !!!!!!!! anyone ????

I don't know about Racing Line. But Powergrid uses really good bearings. Ford uses them on the updated/revised GT500 front end-links from the factory, and I bought a set for my Mustang GT. They are very low friction and last a long time. Setting up the Powergrids were kind of a PITA as it's not 100% bolt-on and requires adjusting to eliminate pre-load. If your stock links are fine, just keep running them.
