I got a buddy whose stock links have both broken (due to age, not wear) I'll send him the link. I'll also be very interested when i start building. Could blue bushings be an option?

Blue bushings are fine.

I think I'm gonna order a set, but can you post a picture of what the double disconnect looks like when disconnected (i.e. what is left behind on the swaybar?) Just something to illustrate what you said in post #4 since I'm more of a visual person

Essentially you have the pin on the top on the sway bar in the rear and on the lca in the front. The bushings and a small stud will be left on the rear frame mount and the sway bar in the front.

Does the stud with bushings mount back onto the link body by threading on, or is there some sort of quick release mechanism?

On a double disconnect the bushings stay on the vehicle all the time. The threaded stud will extend into the hex and have a release pin that can be pulled to remove the hex from the bushings. Even with single disconnects YOU can replace the lock nut with a wing nut and essentially achieve the same thing. I promise my building skills are better than my paint skills.

On the 4th gens, how do you propose to keep the disconnected sway bar from destroying the CV?

You'll have to find a sway to secure it up. I just use a bungee on mine.

I got my links on last night. I was running no sway bars front or rear for about a year. I feel like in driving a sports car compared to before. I only put the rears in. Beefy.

I'm about to get the ToyTec Ultimate 3" setup. I'm told I need to buy the $30 swaybar relocates to aide...with something. Now how do these nifty things tie into this picture? Simply beefier material and disconnects?

They don't exactly. What you're talking about are most likely talking about are the sway bar drop brackets. These will drop the front sway bar about an inch, so you can reuse your stock links. My links are already an inch longer than stock. So you'd just need the links, rather than the drop bracket and stock links. By using my links, you'll keep everything in its intended location, will get much beefier links, and you can easily remove them.

@ dhalsey
Will you post pics when you put the front links on? I am interested in a set but want to check it out first. Thanks for posting the pics of the rear!! Great looking setup!

Pretty sure he just got rears from me. I'm building some fronts and will get some pictures up for you.
