FS: Brand New Alta Rear Sway bar End Links $75 + shipping!

SOLD!

Brand new purchased from OutMotoring on sale @ $75 + shipping due to the fact these are light grey NOT the current red version as pictured. I'm selling because the bolts provided are not compatible w/ my larger diameter Madness 22mm Rear Swaybar. I cannot tell you what aftermarket sway bars they would be compatible with... but they would certainly improve the performance of your stock set-up! The cheapest I found these new are at JSC Speed for $117 + shipping. Here's the write-up:

"Every portion of your Mini's suspension is subjected to extreme loads under hard cornering. One of the weakest parts on your stock suspension are the factory end links. These are solely responsible for taking the cornering load from the control arm and applying it to the anti-sway bar. The flimsy factory units prevent your sway bar from doing its job efficiently and smoothly. Alta has solved this problem with their easy to install Alta upgraded end links. These are available for the front and rear of your Mini.

Alta links feature 6061 powder coated aluminum rods and aircraft quality Teflon lined spherical studded rod ends. These combine to form a fully adjustable, direct connection from sway bar to control arm. This stronger than stock rod allows linear bar response not found on factory or other competitive versions. What this means to you is tighter, more responsive handling. Instead of the factory link bending and twisting prior to applying cornering force, the force is immediately applied. Avid autocrossers and club sport racers can also use the adjustable length to "pre-load" the front and rear sway bars for even stronger response."

Edit: Sorry for the inaccurate title - These particular End Links are for the REAR Sway Bar (not the "front"!)

you put them as front endlinks, but then u said they don't fit your rear swaybar, so which ones are they?

Or do the endlinks work on both front and rear?

The front links are much longer than the rear & would seem to not be interchangeable.

Apologies for the confusion in my "title": Tho there are different designs for front and rear, these are designed to fit the rear (not the "front")!

The provided bolts with this part don't fit my Madness (aftermarket) 22mm rear sway bar due to it's thickness, which is the reason I'm selling...but they will fit w/ the stock rear sway bar set-up!

Also, I don't think these will work w/ the R56.... Mine's an 04.
