$310 is actually a reasonable price. If you ever price out good spherical bearings you will understand why these links cost so much, the bearings themselves are very expensive.

I can set up a group buy price on these endlinks... Ill check my pricing on monday...
They will work with any sway bar...
They are also adjustable...
Using these with a good high quality sway bar like the NISMO would be a better option then some other "Adjustable" sway bars on the market...

What are you talking about? The links don't alter sway bar rates.BTW....I'm interested in the group buy.

on the "adjustable" sway bars, moving to a different hole doesnt make the sway bar stiffer, that always stays the same... It just limits the movement of the sway bar links and the sway bar... so if you have a good stiff sway bar and shortten that drop link... its essentially the same thing...

Sorry, but you are incorrect on your understanding of how anti-sway bars function.
The different holes in adjustable sway bars alters the arm length of the force twisting the sway bar.
Making broad generalizations, a longer bar "end" will soften the bar. Think a longer arm length will twist the bar less than a shorter arm would. Pulling #'s out of my *ss, a 6" arm subjected to a 1" suspension travel/bump might exert a 20 degree twist of the effective bar. A 4" arm might twist the same bar 30 degrees, resulting in more force being required to twist the bar.
The length of the connecting link between the bar end and it's attachment to the "A" arm would make minimal if any difference to the sway bar rate.
Hope this makes some sense, as even I am getting confused!
