End Links?

The GC sway bar uses it's own endlinks that have a unique connection to the sway bar. It is too long for the KWV3. You would need a machine shop to cut it in the middle and re-weld it shorter.

Incidentally, Hotchkis came out with a new tubular sway bar for the E46 M3 about a year ago. I want to try this front sway bar on for size at some point. I've been waiting for a tubular version since I like to keep my Moupe on a diet. I have KWV3 so I would need even shorter end links.

Anyone attempt this newer tubular version?

As far as I'm concerned, you did the right thing. I wouldn't consider it bending over backwards however. It was a mistake on your end that you didn't know the kit required specific end links, and you corrected it. Which is great.

However, I never received the wrenches; and everyone knows wrenches are required for any given set of coilovers. I was patient and asked if you could provide them for me, but I have yet to receive them. Do you have receipt of shipping them out to me? You're saying you had to purchase new ones from KW?

If you don't like being hassled, how about responding to the numerous PMs I've sent you over the past month? We've been civil thus far, so just continue with the comms please.

I got them from my friends shop that carries KW , you filled up my PM box awhile ago apparently so I couldn't receive or send new ones lol . The bottom line is you hassled the shit out of me for a grand total of 80 bucks of parts that I never advertised I had in the sale. Sure when you buy new stuff it comes with everything you need but that's not the case when you buy used . You made a mistake too not knowing about the end links . I certainly didn't have to pay for shipping which was 150 from SC to Cali , and lower my price for you initially either . 1550 for KWV3's and GC camber plates shipped is a fantastic deaI . ( KW's don't come with free end plates in the kit ) I did this because
A) you were a known forum member and I like to help out fellow enthusiasts
B) I am a very busy guy and wanted a quick hassle free sale.

I def did not end up with B . At one point I even offered to give you 100 to cover end links or whatever and you refused until I found out the actual price . I found it for you and you still wouldn't let me resolve things until you checked . I'm sorry but I have been way more patient with you than 99% of people would be in this situation . I'm done , unless you start paying me 150/hr which is what my services go for lol. No hard feelings but I've more than done enough .

As far as I'm concerned, I paid immediately, which concluded the hassle free transaction (as shown by the remainder of my flawless trader record.
I was wrong to assume that you, as a known forum member would exclude endlinks and/or adjustment wrenches.
If you truly shipped out the set of adjustment wrenches, then so be it. But I didn't receive them, so there's that. Via Paypal, I'm shipping confirmed, so there should be no issues getting stuff to my address. Just saying.
Guess I'll just never get to adjust height on these

I , as you did as well , never even knew about the end links , thus why they were not listed in my add .I also could not find my wrenches again why I did not list them in my add. I had photos of everything I listed . I did send you wrenches at my expense of 10 dollars via the cheapest usps shipping I could get using the same address as before . My issue is you have acted super entitled the whole time , and when you refused my cash settlement offer after dozens of PM's which turned out to be more than both the end links and wrenches combined that was the last straw . I am not your bitch lol . Enjoy the suspension , if the wrenches don't make it , buy a set ! They are 10 fucking dollars ! Peace I'm out !

That looks seriously nice, would LOVE this, but again seems not much option works with the Clubsport kw :-( Luckily a small amount of roll is imo welcome, also the stock bars aren't going to pull out the frame as much as id like the adjustability I've never felt the car needs uprated roll bars, particularly after the CS coil-overs.

I thought the same until I added the H&R bars to my car with my CS COs
It made a significant difference on the track.

My mounting mod for the bars has stood up very well; absolutely no issue.
