I heard that would solve the "clunking" problem and was going to give it a shot soon. Mine doesn't do it all that often but i notice it when it does.

The way they are wound (like a bee-hive) on both ends, you can't chop any off with out serious re-winding. Better to just get Good springs..

Just as an FYI-I just recieved my $20 rebate check today from Eibach after buying their rear sway bar through Pep Boys in January. Any who bought anything from Eibach and sent them a rebate months ago-there may be hope for you yet...
Eibach through PEP Boys-Free Shipping, $144 inital cost, $20 bucks back, total $124.

That post has pictures to what it looks like. Seems the end links can be had for 25-35 a piece and can be installed by yourself

No..thats a front end clunk,unrelated..sway links,,the rear will also on occasion make a sound as the coil rubs the lower spring cup, the remedy was to flip the spring upside down..seems this mainly pertains to GoldLine springs

Yes, that clunk. Started when I installed the Goldlines and have heard about it many times on many forums. Just heard about the flipping of the springs a few weeks ago. Will have to try it and see.

Is that the same as Progress Tech. ??? (these guys.... http://www.progressauto.com/ ) I can vouch for that bar, it's solid construction and works! You won't break that one.
