Default Mance Adjustable Sway Bar Link Group Purchase...

Howdy! We have confirmed and tested fitment of these adjustable rear sway bar links on the A4 B5 rear suspension, w/ stock and aftermarket sway bars. These units are produced by Mance Etheridge, those of you familiar with his work can attest to the quality and precision of his items, many know his V6 12v engine upgrades. He previously ran Abnormally Aspirated but has decided to produce products for resale through our services.

These units are great for replacing those rotten or broken plastic sway bar links, no more torn boots and loose joints, plus you can dial in your sway bar which is great for the autox'er, track monster or the "spirited" driver in all of us These really will make a difference in how your rear sway bar functions. Here is a great explanation of the benefits of these adjustable sway bar links by the creator himself:

<img src="http://www.euro-audi-parts.com/Mance/b5linksb.jpg">

These are full Cromoly steel, black zinc plated links with extreme angle teflon lined spherical adjustable ends. All new hardware is included with each link. These are really nice pieces folks!

Now down to the nitty gritty, pricing:

<b>Retail Pricing - $160.00 pair ($299.00 for 4)</b>

<b>Group Purchase Pricing - $139.00 pair ($269.00 for 4)</b>

All 90 B4 FWD (Front Only)
All 90 B4 Quattro (Front and Rear)
All A4/S4 B4 Quattro Models (Rear Only)

Group Purchase pricing is already in effect as we have 10+ pairs confirmed to be sold already. Since we have confirmed fitment on the B5 rear suspension we have decided to also offer this group purchase up to you all.

Using Champagne Motorsports A4 rally car fitment was confirmed, no rubbing issues, no interference, totally bolt-on (you can also note in the pictures how the links are adjusted quite differently per side, this is done by weighting the driver's seat and adjusting the preload off of the sway bar, the main benefit of these links, sorry for the dirty shots as the rally car had just come back from a race):

Thank you for your time!

Default Two questions for Mance...

1. Are these lighter than the stock metal pieces? I'm talking about compared to the stock rears on an A4.

2. Why no bend in the rear links? I thought there was some possibility of rubbing the axle on the A4 without the bend?

Thanks. :-)

Default Two answers from Alex...

1. These are 100 grams lighter than the old style METAL rear links.

2. There is no problem with rubbing the axle as these have been tested on Mance's 90 B4 (identical rear suspension to the A4) and also straight units have been used on the A4 rally car for some time as well, no issues.

Cheers,

Default Closing Date will come soon, we wanted to see what the interest level was...

and it seems just fine. I suspect the closing date will be late next week.

Default Right at 100grams per link lighter. "Bend" adds to the cost...

and I found a work-around that eliminates the need for it. Thinner than the CPP units and stronger due to cromoly vs aluminum.

Tested on the AAN/A4 hillclimb car on road course, hill climb and ralley with no rub/interference issues.
