Default end links

Yep, Just unbolt the old and bolt in the new. I took the stock plastic off of my coupe and put on the metal Z06 links. I put on new poly sway bar bushings at the same time. They're too cheap not to do it all at one time .

Don't mean to hijack your thread but where is a good place to buy just the poly bushings? Thanks for your time.
