Very Important !!!
If you have 1997-2001 with the plastic sway bar end links - REPLACE THEM now.
for over a year I have been trying to figure out why I lost the crisp hadling that I had when my 2000 Coupe was new, I went back to the EMTs (bad idea), upgraded the shocks to bilstein sports (better but not the fix), full alignment (noticed nothing), I have the Z51 suspsions package. Yesterday I replaced the back & front with the metal links
EUREKA !!!!!!
Just in time to put it awayt for the winter :-(
Thought you should all know

I am dumping my plastic end links and Z51 sways for Hotchkis parts from the last GP... looking forward to even better handling than the Z51 is on my very competant 2001 Coupe
