Swaybar endlinks, For BMR F/R Bars what do you guys recommend. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi, My Car is lowered 1" and I am running F&R Adjustable BMR Bars with Full BMR Rear suspension, What end links do you guys recommend? What choices are out there these days that will work with my set up.

Right now I am running factory links, I believe most say the front are not up to the job and the rears are okay or maybe I have that backwards.

Thanks

Did a search not really seeing many options, Are the BMR ones any good? Detroit speed I heard may not fit well with out enlarging the hole and I am not seeing Hotckis listed. Seeing even less for the rear.

The pre 2012 front links were too small for anyone driving hard. I replaced them with the post 2012 factory links and have not had any issues (the pre 2012s were in rough shape when I went to remove them). I don't have any experience with aftermarket units, but what you heard about the fronts may have been in reference to the early units.

Yeah I heard teh early versions were weak, Supposedly the rears on the later models are fine and the fronts can be a bit better, Figured I would getting a matching set if I were going to change them.

I also have BMR front and rear adjustable sway bars (along with their full rear suspension). However, I still have the stock end links. If/when I have issues, I was going to replace them with BMR's end links.

Joe.G · 01-23-2023, 08:13 PM

BMR doesn't appear to offer any for the new style rear.

Bee · 01-23-2023, 09:11 PM

Ahh...good call. BMR probably didn't find any issues with the later 5th Gen rear end links.

What year is ur car. Earlier models came with FE3 sway bat where the later models had FE4. Easiest way to know what u have regardless the year is where are the end links. On the outside of the shock is FE4 and inside is FE3. Keep in mind if ur LCA are BMR the the end links will tear up a 17in wheel from an FE4 bar so u need to go FE3

Joe.G · 01-29-2023, 10:12 AM

2014 FE4 and I do have BMR bars.

Domangue418 · 01-29-2023, 10:41 AM

Probably still on 20s as well. I have 2013 as well and just purchased 17s. If u plan the u need to sell

Joe.G · 01-29-2023, 11:28 AM

I don't plan to drop down to 17's with my 20's I have plenty of room.
