Thread: Bilstein Coilovers

Hmm otay... so I can avoid emailing them how much were the endlinks if you remember..

They came with the brackets so not sure if they would just sell the end links separately... they were like 75 shipped iirc

Someone provide me a link. Id almost be willing to go with their set up cause it looks good. More professional. As for coilovers im still making thise

mcmaster has those links/rod ends.

I'll revamp the first post once either myself or any one else provides the info on the specific order with the rod ends... I'm sure there 3/8ths male and female will work. But we will see.

Looks like unless someone else comes up with some p/n for the endlinks I'll probably just get a set with bracket from Arraut. Would probably be cheaper then making my own bracket then cutting up some endlinks to shorten them then paying someone to weld them back together.

^i stumbled across that website about a month ago when I ran into a guy with a slammed 2009 impala

Ya i mean i thought about making my own brackets and i know you can find those endlink parts on McMaster Carr and im sure McMaster loves my money(~$500 went to them for my build haha) but for me it was just easier to purchase something that was already manufactured and proven ya know. The brackets and endlinks are quaility too.. just some food for thought.

But Red here are the parts needed.. 3/8" male(x2) and 3/8" female(x2) and nut(x2).. i already looked into building them when i was doing my build.

But for $17 each thats already at ~$35 for one side.. so your already at about $70 for just the endlinks... then you have to make the brackets. I guess you could go with their mild steel option instead of SS but for somthing like that i wouldnt want them to seize with rust.

Finally lol.. Note to self gotta squeeze information out of Alixor.. Good to know yea when it's broken down like that buying from HT is the better route.

Haha i got lots of information stored away ;-)... and ya i mean they buy bulk im sure so its cheaper for them

Now if you can find me some of those sealed bearings that Kory had on his coilovers

Here you go ;-) 5 items down sealed needle bearings... also they their spring compensators would make coilovers tits!

Not sure who said they stopped making them...

Thanks dude. Blownbigblock said they did but I have a feeling that was just to help him offload his c/o set.

Well to give him the benifit of the doubt, they are under a different name and part number now.. these replace the sealed thrust bearings they had a while back.

This combo right here p/n's

CSC2.5B and CSC2.5GTB

will make a sweet setup... throw some helper springs in there too and some Bilsteins... man oh man lol
