: I installed a set that I bought from Turner Motorsport in Massachussets. They sell for $289 US a set. Front is 22mm hollow and non-adjustable, rear is adjustable. It made a whole lot of difference to my car. Certainly a plus. Other brands are more expensive.

: Even though I live in Montreal, I rarely buy Canadian as stores’ prices are way too high. Plus that 15% tax. Hmmm...


I have the same ones I think. Didn'tknow the front one was hollow though. Seems too heavy to be hollow and it is adjustable. I bought them from some race shop, forgot the name but the price was about the same as described. The completely transform the car. It is a mod you will definetly not regret. One special note, yet you will have to beef up the rear mounts. I think a welding shop that has a mig welder could do it better than the flimsy kits I see being offered. Both the chassis mount needs it and the trailing arm mount needs beefing. The front stock end links will fall apart pretty fast too. I made new ones out of a rod end bearing, some threaded rod, 2 urethane endlink bushings, a couple of fender washers and a locknut (per side). My car also has the matching springs so the end link design would be different if the stock springs are used.
