Constant clunking drives me to madness |

Upon installing these links, I found that the "little clunking over some surfaces" in some reviews equates to almost constant clunking over almost any uneven pavement surface at low (less than 40mph) speeds on our rough Ohio roads. I checked with BSH and they told me that the noise is expected but, strangely, it's mentioned only in reviews and not in the product details.
The installation instructions state that a torque wrench is needed but doesn't specify any torque specs. If torqued to the factory spec the nuts on the fasteners back themselves out slowly over time and need re-torquing every couple of weeks (loctite helps a little but doesn't solve the issue).
I'm extremely dissatisfied with the quality of this product, its description details, and its accompanying installation instructions. I have many great BSH parts on my vehicle, but these are definitely not one of them. I can only hope that Redline will accept them back for a return when I have a chance to remove them.

Better than stock... |

First off, I had installed the rear BSH race sway bar with the stock end links. This worked fine for a while, but the stock end links eventually broke down. So, it was time to buy some new ones. After looking around, these weren't too much more expensive than just buying the stock end links again, so I went for it. I'm glad I did. They are very stiff! There's no rubber like on the stock end links - just a metal bearing - so there is very little give on these. The install took about an hour and a half due to the difficulty of getting the end links aligned with the bar. As a note, and as other reviewers have commented, there it's a little noise at lower speeds (through rough parking lots, etc.) coming from the bar/links. For me, it is worth it for the handling gain.
