Default Hardbar Spring End Kit

http://hardbarusa.com/hardbar/produc...products_id=48

Anyone use these? Do the Delrin pads cause more or less binding in the suspension after the car has been jacked up? Do the Delrin pads wear out fast and need replaced.

The head on one of my stock bolt adjusters is rounded off. What are my other options for a replacement?

Thanks

a lot of us run them, the friction on the control arm is much less with the delrin pad, so you can make adjustments with the car loaded (very hard to do with the rubber pads). this is handy for when the car is loaded on the scales and you are adjusting ride height/corner weights.

you can also slip a piece of slipper plastic....think a cut-up fake license plate...between the control arm and adjuster or spring (if you've removed the adjuster completely.

No kidding. Tim's car was almost impossible. I had to use so much force to turn that tiny little adjuster that I just knew I was going to break a knuckle or two. The large bolt head end on Gary's delrin adjusters are the bomb.
