    BWoody link thoughts

    Well I got the oversized washers needed and am now ready to pull the trigger on the BWoody endlinks. Before I go an order them I'd like some honest opinions from few guys on here that have them installed.

    My goal is the tightest handling car I can get (please no Pedders plugs, I'm on a budget). My front endlinks are clunking so I figure this is a good time for an upgrade. My question is this: What kind of improvement did you guys feel immediately after putting them on? Is it comparable to going from stock swaybars to Hotchkis (that improvement was INCREDIBLE. I immediately noticed a dramatic change as soon as I took my first onramp), or is it not really something I'll notice? Is it worth it for someone who doesn't really road race and just wants a great handling, cornering car?

    didn't really notice any difference myself, but then my TEIN and Hotchkis make the car super stiff anyway and the Bwoody's were the last part..

    I'll say this, when I pulled the OEM rears off after riding on the TEIN and Hotchkis for about 6000 miles, both were bent to hell, a good 8 - 10 degrees on each, the heavy dutiness of the Bwoodys makes me feel a little better about the suspension overall.

    Wow bent? I take it you road race...?

    Thing is, I don't want to upgrade to the bWoodys if I won't feel a difference. I can just get some new front OEM replacements at rockauto for like 30 bucks each and use the extra money to get Redfoxx's new Jeep SRT style cluster. I only want to pay for the BWoody's if there is a noticeable difference in handling. I already have Hotchkis and I'm just trying to squeeze out some better cornering/handling on a budget, lol.

    nope no road racing, just everyday driving in L.A. on crappy pot hole filled, patched, worn out nasty streets.

    can't answer if there is a noticeable difference on OEM suspension, mine is very stiff from the TEIN and Hotchkis, so i can't tell a difference..

    I've only heard of the pencil thin rears bending.

    Can't say about the difference because I put them on with a full Track II Pedders upgrade.

    I noticed some seperation after just street driving on the front, and added grade 8 washer, and no problems since.

    They are the heaviest I know of on the rears, and seem to be good enough.

    On the front, I'd prefer thae adjustable end links..

    Just installed mine after 2 sets of OEM links going bad and they are beefier and its my only suspension mod so far. I still am waiting for my tension struts to completely eliminate the front clunk. I can tell a little stiffer ride but the noise is still killing me so I will let you know more in detail after this weekend bc I just put my bwoodys on a few days ago.

    I've got Hotchkis sways and BWoody front and rear endlinks...do I notice a difference? Yes but not a whole lot mind you.

    Now I'm trying to rid myself of my lower ball joints clunking away which is taking away some of the enjoyment of some spirited driving with the beefed up endlinks and sways.
