GB: Heavy Duty Adjustable Endlinks

[Blue Bomber]

Description:
These endlinks are made for stock height and lowered applications. They are made from corrosion resistant zinc plated steel, using high strength ball bearing rod ends. The endlinks are reverse threaded to make on-car adjustments quick and simple. Spring lock washers and jam nuts are used to prevent parts from coming loose. The rod ends have no liners to compress and cause knocking noises. They are lubricated with waterproof Lucas Xtra Heavy Duty Grease (lube for life spec), and use seals to keep the grease in and dirt out.


Pricing:
Full set: $165 ($150 endlinks + $15 s/h)
Front pair: $90 ($80 endlinks + $10 s/h)
Rear pair: $80 ($70 endlinks + $10 s/h)

S/H price listed is for continental US and Canada only. Overseas may cost more. Local pickups available.



Front Endlink Sizes:
Stock-1" drop
1"-2" drop
2"-3" drop

Please specify which size you need in your order.



Payment:
I accept PayPal and money orders. Email me at christian.fiore@gmail.com to order or submit questions (no PMs, please). Please include your screen name on emails. I can also be reached on AIM as ChristianFiore (http://www.newcelica.org/forums/showthread.php?t=172648#).



Ending date: 05/31/05
All payments must be in by the 31st. All parts to build all endlinks ordered will be purchased at the same time to save shipping. Once all endlinks are assembled, they will all be shipped at the same time, so hopefully everyone who ordered will get theirs around the same time.



Minimum order: 10 full sets (or equivalent)

THANK YOU! man....im down for a set of REAR only please

will paypal $80.00 shipped soon

[evil eye]

Very good news. I'm assuming these have been tested already Chris? I have to pay a few bills first, but after that I'm in. I plan to drop my car 2" with Tein SS-P's, so what would be better, the 1-2" set or the 2-3" set?

Would you be able to bring them to the June 5th meet? ;)

[Blue Bomber]

I'm assuming these have been tested already ChrisNope. Nobody wanted to test them. :sadpace:I plan to drop my car 2" with Tein SS-P's, so what would be better, the 1-2" set or the 2-3" set?Hmmm. I guess it depends on if you plan on getting the car corner weighted (the proper way to install coilovers). If so, you might want to go with the 1-2", and you could always cut down the threaded hex if you need more room. If not, the 2'-3" should work. I could always ship your endlinks with both size hex bars for $15 extra, so you can have 1"-3" adjustability. Would you be able to bring them to the June 5th meet? ;)
If I get all the parts in time, yes. :)

[evil eye]

Cool. One more Q, are you planning on making anymore after May 31, or is this a one time offer? Please say you'll contine to make these. I added up all my current expenses, and money's really tight at the moment. :(

[Blue Bomber]

Yes, I'll make them as long as I can get at least 10 people to buy them per GB. Otherwise, the prices of some of the components go up significantly.

[krazeazn]

whats the shipping price for hawaii 96817

[Blue Bomber]

whats the shipping price for hawaii 96817
$20 via USPS Priority Mail. UPS wants $48. :AF:

[nccelica]

sorry if this is a newbie question, but what does an endlink necessary do? sorry if im being ignorant :eslap:

[Blue Bomber]

Endlinks attach your sway bars to the rest of the suspension. When you lower your car, you ideally need to adjust the length of the endlinks, since the sway bar's angle will be altered. It needs to be parallel to the ground for optimal performance. Unfortunately our stock endlinks aren't adjustable. Sometimes, all the stress from having the sways at the wrong angle (preload) can potentially bend or dislodge your stock endlinks. This is most common on the front endlinks when using coilovers , but it's happened while using just springs, too.

These endlinks will allow you to alter their length, so the sways will be at the proper angle. They're also stronger than stock, so they'll be able to handle the abuse of aftermarket springs, coilovers, and sways. They should also help reduce or eliminate the damage the poor fitting TRD front sways seem to cause (rubbing against the suspension).

[ironracer4130]

im in for the full set 1''-2''

[the3kgt2]

Hmm. My car came with a hotchkiss front sway bar and I have a massive knocking or rubbing sound. Can't pinpoint the sound, maybe these will get rid of them. I'll let you know if I decide to get em.

Easiest way to find out is to unbolt one of the front endlinks. That will eliminate the stress on the sway, so if it really is an endlink, the noise will be gone. Just don't drive too hard, since your car will want to oversteer a lot. ;).

[DopeCelicaGT]

Nope. Nobody wanted to test them. :sadpace:Hmmm.

I told you to send me a set Chris LOL and I would test them for you. O well LOL so what happens if people start to get them and they start breaking?

[the3kgt2]

so what happens if people start to get them and they start breaking?

you'd be F'd in the A

[DopeCelicaGT]

^^^Well in that case I think someone needs to test them to be sure before they are sold for that amount of money. I have confidence in BB but you don't want to start mass selling something that is going to break. As much confidence as I have in these it would be nice to know for sure.

[Blue Bomber]

Nope. Nobody wanted to test them. :sadpace:Hmmm. I told you to send me a set Chris LOL and I would test them for you. You don't have the right machine to test them with. :p: [QUOTE=Blue Bomber]so what happens if people start to get them and they start breaking?I guess I could give a 30 day warranty, but the life of the endlinks is highly dependant on the install. If they're not adjusted properly and are set too long, there will be much more stress on them than if they were installed right. I don't see them breaking, though, since they're made completely out of steel, use high strength rod ends (rated about equal as Hotchkis'), and they're adjustable to the proper length each individual's suspension requires (unlike Hotchkis').

[TRD StreetRacing]

sorry if this question is ask at some point during the thread BUT what would happen if i get the 2-3" drop endlinks and i only have a 1-2" drop?? would it make a difference?? i would rather get a stronger endlink just to be safe

LOL I got all of the machine you need LOL after breaking two Hotchkis endlinks! Send me a set and I promise I will test them LMAO. Oh by the way you are very right on the install part of them lasting or not. They sound and look to be good though. I am going to order some on your next GB that is unless you send me some to test LOL, then I will test those and buy them from you.

The sway would be misaligned and it would cause extra stress on th endlinks. Not sure if it would hit any part of the suspension at that height, either.

I could make a set for your right now. Unfortunately, they'd cost more, since I'm getting a discount on buying large quantites of some of the parts. How long did it take for you to break the Hotchkis endlinks?

[WHITECELICAGTS]

hmm...

Maybe ill test them for you...

im putting my suspension package on soon

i'm a bit lost. please clear something up for me. are these endlinks the same size (height)?? from what i understand they are the same height (can adjust the hieght by turning the bolt up or down) BUT different thickness. 2-3" being thicker. am i correct?

[Blue Bomber]

Nope, the difference is the adjustability range, which is made for different drops. The threading on rod ends is too short to safely adjust past about 1" (including length on both sides), so I'm selling setups with 3 different ranges for different types of drops. The difference is in the length of the center part (rod on fronts, threaded rod on rears), which affects the overall length of the endlink.

[Manny_TXtreme]

Chris, would u recommend these with Tein Basics?

[Blue Bomber]

Chris, would u recommend these with Tein Basics?
Yup, they're sturdier than the endlinks provided by Tein, which aren't much thicker than stock:

[TRD StreetRacing]

i guess i'll be payin on the last day. i have to wait for my set up to come out to check if i need the 2-3 drop. i think i will be going with the 1-2 drop from what i predict

[TRD StreetRacing]

bizzump

[Siphon]

I am in for a full set of 1"-2". Hopefully it finishes off the problem with my TRD sways.

[Blue Bomber]

One week left to get those payments in! ;)

UPDATE: I'll be using even stronger metal (hardened 4140 alloy steel) for the rods, so the endlinks will be even stronger. :thumbup: It will also allow me to set up the rear endlinks the same way the fronts are set up.

[celiwhite]

what happens if u don't get the minimum of 10?

[02GTSGirly]

We want a set Bomber! If you can move back the order date since you don't have your 10 yet, we'd get in on it. We could paypal you the money on June 3rd.
Let me know. :)

[TRD StreetRacing]

what happens if u don't get the minimum of 10?

:werd:

thats what i was thinking too? there seems to be 10ppl buying a full set BUT only 3 of them are payed yet. so does that mean we have only 3 people and not the 10??

[DopeCelicaGT]

Will you be doing this again? I know a lot of people were interested but could not shell out the $$$ right now.

I won't be able to get the parts needed to make the sets for the same price. Right now we only have 3 people in. If necessary, I can push back the end date a week, but I can't keep pushing it back. Will you be doing this again? I know a lot of people were interested but could not shell out the $$$ right now.
If there's enough interest after this GB, yes.

[02GTSGirly]

Added. What size do you need?


We have a 1-2" drop so that set should work. I'll have Dave send the money ASAP

[02GTSGirly]

Oh, and the set is just for Swing Fixer. I don't need a set.
Thanks!

[SNIPACE]

Hey Blue, you got 'Mo Money'. I hope everyone else pays. I want these things soon.

[LaoBoyJames]

Got a quick simple question, if these don't work what will happen?

[LaoBoyJames]

I am interested in a rear pair BTW, reason why I ask.

[Blue Bomber]

Got a quick simple question, if these don't work what will happen?
No reason it shouldn't. The part that always breaks/bends on other endlinks (the center rod) is made of chromoly on mine. Like I said before, I'm offering a 1 month warranty on these, so if anything happens during that time, you can request a replacement part, or return the endlinks. I am interested in a rear pair BTW, reason why I ask. What size?

[badceli]

Blue Bomber,
I would like a full set. 1"-2" drop.

Also, tell me how many more sets need to be paid for before you have your 10 sets and I will pay for all of them if you sell them for me.

I would say just make the last few sets 1"-2" drop since that seems to be the norm.
I will be in no hurry to get my money back, so if it takes two years to sell the last few sets, no problem. Just trying to help get these made. Thanks.

[Blue Bomber]

I've got one guy saying he's gonna pay me soon, and if you and LaoBoyJames buy some, then I won't need any more orders to get 10. At worst, I'd need 1.5 extra sets to be ordered.

[badceli]

Ok. I'll just send you $165 right now. Let me know if you want me to pay for a couple more sets if the other two guys don't pay. Thanks.

[badceli]

Money sent.

[Blue Bomber]

Ok. I'll just send you $165 right now. Let me know if you want me to pay for a couple more sets if the other two guys don't pay. Thanks. I'll give it till the end of this week. Money sent. Got it. :)

[LaoBoyJames]

Hey Blue When I jack my car up I hear this creaking noise from what might be the endlinks, I don't believe the camber links would be doing that. Same noise when I lower it back down. I also hear it whenever I turn up and down my driveway and even turning on the street. Creaks like an old door. If you can confirm this is it, and I do have TEIN coilovers BTW, then I will pay for a set of 2-3 inch drop tonight for a rear pair.

[Blue Bomber]

Try doing some of that stuff with the hatch open. The hatch bumpers tend to make squeaking/creaking noises when the rear chassis flexes. If it's them, some lithium grease will solve that noise.

[LaoBoyJames]

I'll try that thanks. If that doesn't work expect 80 bucks coming your way.

[LaoBoyJames]

How long would these take to get made honestly. I don't mean to make this difficult but I just don't wanna end up experiencing a TPR-esque wait. If they can be made in a one month timespan I will pay you asap. Any more than a month I'd just rather live with the noises.

[Blue Bomber]

They should be in your hands about 2 weeks after I receive the last payment, depending on how fast the parts get to me. Since I just got a new job, I'll have to wait till the weekend to machine some parts.

Thats all I needed to hear, the 80 dollars is yours.

[WHITECELICAGTS]

[Auto[BoT]_GTS]

i sent the payment...lloyd lopez....

[LaoBoyJames]

Blue can you revise my order. It should say Rear pair of 2"-3" drop endlinks. Also I only paid $80 so I shouldnt be getting a full set.

[Manny_TXtreme]

Chris, I'll send u the funds later today. I'll also include the shipping if I happen to be too lazy to come by lol.

[DopeCelicaGT]

Blue,

I want a set for the front. PM me your address. Thanks.

Justin

[DopeCelicaGT]

^^^Nevermind, i see a lot of guys are holding out for the next GB and that would be better for me as well, so I guess I will hold out. We already have 3 people for the next one for sure LOL.

[DopeCelicaGT]

Ok, nevermind I made up my mind for sure. PM me your address so I can send you some $$$! You take M.O.'s? We done biz before so I figured it would be cool. Anyways I would like a front set for I have lets see a 1.75-1.9 inch drop so I guess I will need the 1-2" set, unless you think otherwise. It is dropped pretty damn close to 2 inches but it will never be any lower so...I think the 1-2 inch ones should work.

[evil eye]

I hope there's a second GB. :sadwave:

[SNIPACE]

Yay!!!:applaud: :headbang: :applaud: :headbang: :applaud: :headbang: :applaud:

We can get our endlinks soon now that at least 10 have paid.

[DopeCelicaGT]

I hope there's a second GB. :sadwave:


If there is then I will be on that one too as I want a rear set as well but cannot afford it right now.

[slvceli]

Sorry to those who were counting on me being in the second group buy but I have the money now and I really cant wait until the next one. Sending money for the 1-2" fronts.

[inflaymes]

I have sent payment as well.

[Elec-FuYu]

god i missed one great GB again....
will you be doin this again?

my car is making knocking sound from the suspension (both front and rear)...probably the sways... will this help?

[Blue Bomber]

god i missed one great GB again....

If your endlinks are busted, yes. ;) Try unbolting the endlinks and see if the noise goes away.

[lilcoop_69]

when will the next gb be??? i guess i could replace my tein ones with these after reading the thread.. .let me know....

[SNofRANDY]

whats the size of the endlink bolt? cuz i have an 04 corolla and it's dropped w/ hotchkis sways n i need an endlinks and im risking buying this to see if it will work out

[Blue Bomber]

14mm. If you want the endlinks, you'll need to order by Sunday at the latest, and you can only pay via PayPal through your credit card or your PayPal balance. Anything else will take too long to clear.

[DopeCelicaGT]

Hey Blue I am sorry to say I am going to have to wait. I mailed you a check which should have been there in plenty of time to clear but for some reason it was sent back to me. I was going to send out a M.O. immediately but I figured this would not give you enough time either as you want these things like right now. I decided to wait I guess unless you guys still want to wait on my M.O. to reach Blue. Let me know something. Thanks.

Justin

[Blue Bomber]

Go for it. I have enough in my account to cover your set before the money order clears, so I'll transfer the money into PayPal this week, and I'll let you know when I get the money order.

I also need to wait for verification on exactly how the front endlinks need to be adjusted for each drop. I originally thought they needed to be shorter than stock when the car is lowered, since everyone said they made theirs shorter, but someone brought up that the front is set up differently from the rear (which does need shorter endlinks). Now I'm second guessing about if the endlinks need to be shorter or longer than stock. I'll need a definitive answer before I order the parts.

BTW, I just found a site that sells even stronger rod ends (7600 vs 5100 lbs load rating) for about $.50 more each than the ones I was planning on using, so my endlinks will be stronger than ever. :cool:

[DopeCelicaGT]

^^^Awesome. I will get the $$$$ to you ASAP and thanks for covering me Blue.

Oh I didn't know we were waiting 3 weeks for one more payment, I would have just threw in that money for him just so everyone would have gotten theirs by now and if I didn't get money back you could just send his endlinks to me. Oh well I'll just assume this WILL be a TPR-esque wait, that way It won't be so bad when I receive it one day when i least expect it. I've had worse groupbuys like Gaytek's GayDM Groupbuy Version Gay. Man I still can't forget that fools line where he says... "You wanted it, and as always Kozztuning got it for you." More like and for always Kozztuning got your money.

[TunerSalesJBA]

We will be purchasing soon...FYI

Oh I didn't know we were waiting 3 weeks for one more payment, I would have just threw in that money for him just so everyone would have gotten theirs by now and if I didn't get money back you could just send his endlinks to me. Well, that, and also someone mentioned the endlinks may need to be lengthened instead of shortened, which held things up a bit, but the consensus said shortened.Oh well I'll just assume this WILL be a TPR-esque wait, that way It won't be so bad when I receive it one day when i least expect it. Umm, no. :p: The hardest part is making the center rods, since they're being purchased as just rod stock, and will need to be cut to length, drilled and tapped to be usable. There will be about 76 of them, so they'll take a good day or so to make. After that, it's only assembling everything and packing them up, which would only take a few hours. I'll post pics when I receive all the parts. We will be purchasing soon...FYI
Unless you can pay by PayPal using a credit card or your PayPal balance by around Wed or Thurs, you'll need to wait for the next GB.

[Blue Bomber]

chris when are these due in?
Waiting to receive the money order from DopeCelicaGT, then I'll order the parts. Shouldn't take more than a week at worst for all the parts to come in. The weekend after they do, I'm going to Dan's shop and working on the rods. Once those are done, all I need to do is assemble everything and ship them. So they should basically ship the week after I get the parts.

They'd help to align the sway bar properly, but I don't think I've heard of anyone breaking a rear endlink before.

[bOOst tsi]

Here's what i wanna know.. My car is dropped with tanabe superdowns springs which contain a drop of 2.2 front and 2.5 rear. Would these endlinks still work being that my car is this low ?. And also would these endlinks work on Trd sways. With that said, what size do i need to get...

[bOOst tsi]

Would these endlinks work with a 2.2 front 2.5 rear drop and Trd sways. And which ones would i need?

[MicaCeli]

Money Sent for Front 1-2" Drop.

Thanx Chris.

Yes, they'd work. You'd need the 2"-3" drop endlinks. If you want in on this GB, you need to send PayPal payment by 11pm tonight. The next GB will start when everyone from this one receives their endlinks in the mail.

[Blue Bomber]

Time's up. No more orders for this GB will be accepted.

[SNIPACE]

Great! Maybe now we can get the ball rolling on this so we can get our Celicas rolling with these endlinks.:eatpop:

[MicaCeli]

My Tien's are clicking like none other :sadpace:

[Blue Bomber]

All of the parts have been ordered except the rod end seals. Waiting for an email back on pricing from one place I might order them from. Unfortunately, the rod ends themselves are on backorder (I do need about 140 of them :p: ), so hopefully they'll be back in stock soon.

[DopeCelicaGT]

^^^WOW!! You are the man Blue. I cannot wait to get mine. Keep us posted.

[Blue Bomber]

Got my first box of parts today. Heavy as hell. :chuckles: I'll open it up tomorrow. Sounds like lots of washers and screws. :)

[LaoRider1216]

Hey Blue, will you be giving a us each a pm or email confirmation when you ship these?

[Blue Bomber]

Sure. :) They'll all be shipped on the same day, anyway.

[Blue Bomber]

Rod end seals ordered! :) Lots more boxes came in the mail today filled with endlink parts. :D

[Swing Fixer]

Thanks for all the updates.....good to know someone actually cares about their product and customers! :thumbup:

[WHITECELICAGTS]

thanks for the updates man!

[DopeCelicaGT]

Cool! I can't wait to get them LOL. However, I feel for you putting all of these sets together LOL. How many did you sell? Also, if someone bails on a set of the rears then let me know cause I want some.

[Blue Bomber]

Cool! I can't wait to get them LOL. However, I feel for you putting all of these sets together LOL.Putting them together is the easy part. Machining the center rods is the PITA. :p: I'll be doing that at a friend's shop. He's on vacation right now til 7/7, but the rod ends are also on backorder, so his vacation shouldn't delay anything. How many did you sell? Sold a total of 17.5 sets to 20 buyers.Also, if someone bails on a set of the rears then let me know cause I want some. People have already paid for their sets, so unless someone doesn't accept their package, you're gonna have to wait for the next GB. Sorry.

[DopeCelicaGT]

That's ok. Good luck with putting them together man and yes machining the centers will be fun LOL. It shouldn't be that bad.

[Blue Bomber]

Endlink parts received so far. :)

[Elec-FuYu]

nice~~~ cant wait

[WHITECELICAGTS]

looks like christmas!

[george]

whens the next GB?

[Blue Bomber]

whens the next GB?
It'll start once everyone from this GB receives their endlinks.

[Blue Bomber]

First, the bad news: got a reply back from the place I want to get the rod end seals from, and they said they're on backorder, and it may take up to 3-4 weeks to get them. :ugh: This place had the best price on them, but I'm gonna see if I can talk down the next cheapest seller so I can get these shipped ASAP.

Now, the good news: another part arrived! :D This is the most important one, since it needs to be machined to work. Everything else is just screw together and go. Without futher ado, hardened chromoly hex rods:

[many]

Amazing Blue! Congrat's on the way you do your group buy, very well done. If I didn't have the Hotchkis ones I would have ordered from you!

[DopeCelicaGT]

^^^Blue are going to be better than the Hotchkis LOL, I hope.

Thanks for the updates. :wave:

[Blue Bomber]

Good news. :) Just got word that I'll be able to get the rod end seals immediately from another store, and for not much more than the other store was selling them for. Now the only thing we'll be waiting on is the rod ends themselves.

not flaming or trying to sabotage just want discussion on something I found.....

[Blue Bomber]

Don't worry, the ones I'm using are made specifically for automotive use by QA1. They have no liners, since I've read more than enough reviews about people complaining about Teflon and PTFE liners compressing and creating knocking noises.

[Auto[BoT]_GTS]

cool man...I just saw it and wanted to know if you aware...good stuff

[Blue Bomber]

The place I bought the rod ends from just charged my PayPal account, so they should be on their way. :thumbup:

Nope, still waiting for the rod ends. Once I get them, I'll go to my friend's shop that weekend to cut and drill/tap the rods, and everything will be ready for shipping.

[DopeCelicaGT]

Cool. Well good luck with all of this. That is going to be a little bit of work. Anyways can't wait to get mine so I can out my dang sways on. By the way Blue e-mail me on how you bent your heat shield so that the rear Hotchkis sway did not wind up hitting it all the time makign that awful noise. Thanks.

[Blue Bomber]

Got the rod ends! :thumbup: Now just need to set up an appointment to work on the rods themselves, and everything will be set to ship. :D

[WHITECELICAGTS]

DROOL!

looking good man

[DopeCelicaGT]

Nice!! Any chance you may have extras LOL so I can get a set of rear end links if my Hotchkis deal falls through??

[Blue Bomber]

Sorry, I could only buy as much as I had money for. I'd just hold off on the Hotchkis rear endlinks for now. If you break a stock one, maybe someone here can lend you one of theirs. ;)

[WHITECELICAGTS]

I know its only been a few days...

but any progress?

I'm free every day after 6 and on the weekends (well, minus the days we're having meets ;) ), so let me know if you have any luck getting through.

[DopeCelicaGT]

Any news?

[Blue Bomber]

The shop hasn't responded to my calls. If anyone would like to pester them to call me back, you can call Dan at (201)388-2107. I'm gonna keep trying, and looking for another place to work on them at my own expense (doubt any other place would let me go in and use their tools for free :sadpace: ).

[Blue Bomber]

OK, finally got into contact with the shop, and I'll probably be stopping by tomorrow evening to get things sorted out. Just hope my rental car can fit the rods inside... :ugh:

So.......

[Blue Bomber]

I'll be going up to the shop tomorrow when my car gets towed there. Unfortunately, the rental Neon POS I'm currently driving won't fit the rods. :ugh: Not sure if I'd be able to work on the rods tomorrow without any advance notice, anyway. I'll be setting up an appointment for hopefully sometime next week so I can reserve an SUV, wagon, etc. in advance to haul the rods.

[LaoRider1216]

Hopefully, we'll be getting it before summer is over. No offence BB, you're probably a busy guy, but I really need these endlink soon. My suspension is knocking like crazy. Anyway good luck with the assembly, it seems like a lot of work.

Cool Cool. Keep us updated.

How would endlinks cause your suspension to be knocking?? maybe that is that damn noise I keep hearing in my car everytime I drive down a gravel road or something. Every since I put the TRD coilovers on and the stock endlinks back on I get all kinds of noise frome the rear passenger side. It almost sounds like a bad coilover but it only makes the noise on extremely bump/bad roads so I think it is something else. Anyways carry on!

[Blue Bomber]

OK, I'll be able to work on the rods at that shop. They're moving right now, so maybe in a week or two everything should be ready. Hopefully my car will be ready by then, as well (at the same shop).How would endlinks cause your suspension to be knocking?? maybe that is that damn noise I keep hearing in my car everytime I drive down a gravel road or something.

If the rod end is damaged/loose, it will make a clunking noise. You can try wiggling your endlinks, and if they have free play in them, then they need replacing. Overtightening can also cause the clunking noise.

[DopeCelicaGT]

I got all kinds of rackeet coming from the passenger side rear and I cannot figure out what it is as it only does it on really rough roads. I am starting to question whether or not the 2 rear coilovers are blown that would def. explain the weird handling characteristics I have had.

[Elec-FuYu]

my car is handleing like crap now... need the endlinks... lol!

[Blue Bomber]

Went to the shop last night to check out my engine. Should be able to get the rods done next Friday, since they tend to stay late then. Here's a pic of the stuff I'll be using to work on the rods (and my header and axles on the lower shelf :p: ):

[Blue Bomber]

Can't. The mechanic doesn't know if he's gonna stay late today, and I've been working late all week (regular graphic artist is out and we're backed up). I'm just gonna rent a truck/SUV on Monday (*shudders*), take the rods to the shop, and work on them whenever possible next week instead of trying to do them all at once.

[SatinSilverGTS]

I am down right now for the full set front and rear.

[Swing Fixer]

Can't wait to get them, I've already installed my hotchkis sways and am waiting to put on my hotchkis tower brace/camber plates until after I get the endlinks. Trying to kill two birds with 1 stone.

[KevGT-S]

Man, I wish I had known about this earlier. Especially since I called Hotchkis for some adjustable end links and was told that their rod style end links are no longer being made. I guess they've gotten too many comlaints about 'em making noises...(?) They have no plans on making an improved design either. Sucky.

What kind of noises? I never really experienced any noises with mine before they broke.

[DopeCelicaGT]

Notice I put, "Before they broke!" Hahahaha!

[DopeCelicaGT]

Any updates on this??

[Blue Bomber]

Dropped the rods off at the shop this weekend (got to rent a big ass van :gap: ). Now I just need to find a day that I don't work overtime to get over there. At worst, I'll be there for a little while on Sat to work on them.

[KevGT-S]

He didn't really elaborate--just that they received complaints about "noises" via phone calls and from reading message boards...

[KevGT-S]

Notice I put, "Before they broke!" Hahahaha!

That's more likely why they allegedly discontinued it. "Noises" = code for "they break sometimes".

It's all limited by how long the garage stays open each day. There's no real specific time past 5pm weekdays/12pm Sat that they stay open. They just stay open till they're finished with their work or get fed up with it. :rolleyes: That's why I need to get into contact with the shop during the day, so I'll know if they have time for me to work that same day.

Manny_TXtreme will be receiving the first set (along with people that know him who ordered), since he lives near here and will be getting an alignment at the same shop. Unfortunately, he was recently banned, so he won't be able to give a review. :sadpace:

[My Sixth Gear]

why did he get banned.. where have i been

[Dayton_Racer]

why did he get banned.. where have i been

Hey I'll be coming with Manny when he gets his alignment and endlinks installed so any reviews written by him will be duly posted.

About the Manny incident:
He was unfairly banned over some b.s that took place in OT. He supposedly threatened another member who had made fun of Aahlek's death back in april and told Manny he hoped he would join Aahleks 6ft under. Manny responded by telling the guy that "his hands were lethal in 48 continental states".
Manny and the site admin - ChumpChiggy - have had a history of problems since Chiggy first poked fun at the Aahlek's death so you can imagine it was nicely orchestrated to get Manny booted. Amazing how Manny gets in trouble for that but you can actually poke fun at dead former nc.org members..Go figure. One would think what happens in OT stays in OT.

Everytime someone brings the Manny situation up, I will keep posting because what happened to that guy was totally unfair.

[inflaymes]

I would really like to get these on before WINTER!!! I mean come on...we have all paid ...and waiting for 6 months just because of excuses is total BS. I mean I was fine after the first month or two....AFTER I was told it would be a couple weeks after the last person paid.....but this is getting rediculous. You made a verbal/written contract by taking orders and peoples money...just like a business. It's not very businesslike to keep making excuses to get these done! YOU are the one that needs to find a way...ANY way to get these finished and sent to people in a timely manner. I don't mean to be a ****...but this is just a little past due! I could have spent money on dealer endlinks and had the struts/springs on months ago if I thought this was gonna take forever and a day. At least post updates regularly instead of waiting for people to ask "what is up?" I will gladly install and write a review of he product when I get them installed.

[Blue Bomber]

I went to the shop I was talking about before on Sat, but their saw wasn't bolted down, so I couldn't get a straight cut on anything. Right now, I'm waiting for the shop owner to get me the number of a place he suggested I should use (along with an update on my car).

[nxracer]

I'll second what inflaymes said.

Way to much time, a full refund is in order.

[vegeta4ss]

damn i really need a set of these...and im not even in on the buy. I hope everything works out and everybody ends up happy.

it sucks when your trying to make parts and all you can find are half ass machine shops.

[slvceli]

Alright this is getting freaking ridiculous. You said they would be in our hands after 2 weeks and it has been more than 4 months.

They should be in your hands about 2 weeks after I receive the last payment, depending on how fast the parts get to me. Since I just got a new job, I'll have to wait till the weekend to machine some parts.

I think we are all fed up with excuses and just want you to get them done. I have waited the longest time to install my springs/struts so that I could get these installed at the same time and make sure everything works right. But everytime you keep saying a week and then the next week its another week. I want to know how long its REALLY gonna take so that I can decide if I should get my springs/struts installed now and then the endlinks later or all at the same time.

Just for clarification this GB was started on May 12, 2005 and today is October 20, 2005, so we have past 6 months and are on our way to 7 months. However, that is just how some GB's go. I think Chris just got in a bind when his buddy told him he could use his shop, then when the time came that was not true and Chris (BlueBomber) was relying on that to get these done. As far as a refund goes, I don't think that these parts are returnable and I highly doubt Chris has enough cash laying around to give everyone a refund. Sometimes you just have to wait, it sucks but i am sure Chris will make it right in the end. However, I must admit it has been a long time, the lengthiest GB I have ever been in.

As far as what you should do, go ahead and install all of your stuff. The endlinks are not hard to put on nor do they have to be put on at the same time. Go ahead and install your springs, struts, sways, etc. then when you do actually get these just pop them on there. Just don't drive the car real hard with the stock end links and you will be fine.

[inflaymes]

Well, my front 2 endlinks are shot....stripped and loose...I have been driving around for 5 months like that...I ended up tightening them the best i could but they still make noise...not too mention my tires are shot from having bad struts. I am waiting to do the whole thing all at once just to be done with it, then get new tires. I don't want to sit in a frozen garage to do this either. I don't want a refund...if they turn out the way they looked in the picture and they fit correctly then great! I , as well as others are just getting anxious to put these on and not wait forever.

Maybe I can even use the shop that's working on my cylinder head (not sure if they do smaller jobs like that).

Once you get them back, will that be the end of the waiting or is there still more stuff for you to do before you get them out to us? I'm waiting on installing my Hotchkis strutbar/camber plates to do that and endlinks at same time....

The only thing else I'd have to do is paint the rods. Not sure if chromoly rusts, but the finish on them isn't very appealing to begin with, anyway. That won't hold the shipping up, though.

Waiting to get the shop's address from 01 Spectra GT-S so I can mail to the rods.


I hope they do good work with this kind of stuff as I would hate for these parts to get messed up and then have to be reordered, even if it is only a few sets. I would call the shop up Chris and make sure they guarantee their work.

Anything new?

[kortik]

can these be used w/Teins SS
and is it still possible to order them or too late?

full set 1-2" drop

if my car is lowered by 2"
do I need 2-3" drop or 1-2" is fine?

Sorry, no more orders will be taken. I might have a couple extra sets at the end of all of this, but I'm not sure right now. They will work with all suspension setups, though.

[kortik]

can you please PM me if there is some left overs.
Cause you know people change their minds etc...

I'll buy right away if available, this will benefit dramatically to my Tein SS setup since I am using the stock links they suck and weak IMO.

so please PM me if any left etc...

thanks

Gimmie your email address. I don't do PMs. ;) chris, have you heard anything new about these? Waiting for my car to be done (should've been done Saturday :furious: ) so I can get the rods back to ship to 01 Spectra GT-S' friend's machine shop.

[evil eye]

Chris, if there's another set of leftovers (F+R) after Kortik gets his, then I'd be interested in a set as well.

Ok, so 11-10-2005 the stuff was supposed to be shipped to what's his name's machine shop...so they are STILL not being finished? Rent a friggin truck...do what you need to do to get these done NOW! You have taken too much money and too many people are waiting! I may have to call my Uncle Vino and his friend from Louisville!

Blue Bomber,
Will I get the first set of endlinks since I haven't complained once in the past 6 months?
