Default T1 end link sizes

It is time to replace the end links on the T1 bars on my C5. I would like to "upgrade" to a better link than the GM set. Any suggestions? Also what are the sizes and do I need 4 right threads and 4 left threads?

Thanks
Jeff

I know a lot of folks that get theirs from Vette Brake Products (or something along those lines), but I have no idea of the sizes. I'm pretty sure you just tell them to give you the adjustable end links to fit the C5 T1 sway bar.

LG Motorsports has replacements. The nice thing about them is that they completely eliminate any rattling. Very nice.

I have the ones from Vette Brakes. Can't beat the price. About $100/set. The movement is very smooth. They do rattle though. Then again I kept on getting told that if I installed them right with no preload on the bar then they would rattle.

Just standard 1/2" heims. VetteBrakes and T1 are the same...my last set of GM T1 ends actually were in Vettebrakes packaging.

Bad news is, standard race heims aren't really any cheaper than getting them from Vettebrakes, and theirs comes with the rights bolts and spacers.

btw, for some reason, they use reverse thread heims. You don't need to do that, just make sure your female and male heims are the same.
