Growing up doesn't have to suck

[randeez]

What does an idiot southerner do with brand new, overpriced pieces of bent and powdercoated round stock? He hangs 'em like a 1700s Louisiana plantation owner and beats 'em with a pair of Channellocks to play the hook from "Carol Of The Bells" since he's a festive kind of ásshole, chipping the powdercoating all to hell.
So he now has some extra sanding to do. That labor far overshadowed the fun of the aforementioned ding-donging.

Scuffed with 220 grit:

There, I fixed it:

I'll compare and document the weights of these versus the stock ones when I swap them. I also ordered new end link and bushing kits for the front. The current ones are only ~30K miles old and look to be just fine. But, they're only $12 for a pair, so why not have everything fresh?

Same here! I'm gonna slip it in sideways. I'm sure it'll take some shoving and I'll get hurt at least once. Butt, I'll get it in there. There's no doubt that I'll be experiencing great pleasure between the two bíg black bars squeezed in my front and rear.

So these don’t have the Hellwig’s adjustment on the rear bar. That’s a difference. My Hellwig rear has 3 holes So, you can adjust the stiffness.. of the rear.. mine are on maximum hardness of course..

ETA: the Hellwigs also come with replacement end links.. front and rear iirc.. definitely rears. Not that this would justify a large cost difference..

ETA 2: both front and rear..
