CKS Suspension

Is it just me, or is trying to get in contact with CKS very difficult in general?
Anyone else have this problem?

I hear good things about them all the time...most of the time it is specifically about the owner John.

I need to purchase some sway bar end links from them.
If you have a number I can reach them by...please let me know.

Thanks!

I know they are on Facebook. But I have no need for an account to that social media site...so I'm not going to sign up for one just to contact CKS.

Has anyone been able to get through to them?
All my attempts at sending an email out to them has somehow come back as a failure.

Yeah...I'm experiencing this too.

Their website also always seems to be "under maintenance".
Has it ever been up and functioning before? I've only recently tried it out.

NvrNuff_ForMe since you can't get in contact with CKS why won't you get these a try.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/282006323299

I had a previous e46 that had coilovers and needed shorter swaybar endlinks. I went on eBay and found a similar one to these and adjusted to the height it needed to be and it never gave me a problem. I would think if you got in contact with them the price would be close or more than the adjustable one on eBay.

Has anyone else used something comparable?
I'm in need of a pair much like the OP does.

I get in contact with them multiple times a month as they request pictures of my car with their suspension. Their best method of contact is through social media websites unfortunately...

Did you get the sway bar end links from them?
Are they adjustable? Also...what length are they at?

Sorry to bombard you with all the questions. I just recently got Grumpy514's CKS coilovers and am now in need of end links.

I appreciate any help you can provide!

So you didn't need shorter end links?
I assume you re-used the stock ones?

If you're getting coilovers they will provide everything you need for them. After that continue with your oem parts for support and you will be ready to roll mate

you shouldn't have to replace your endlinks for shorter ones. your OEM endlinks are fine unless they're shot/play and need to be replaced. are you having issues with your OEM endlinks?

Well...the person I got the (used) CKS coilovers from claimed shorter end links would be needed.

That's weird! I'm wondering why that is? I've never heard of anyone with coilovers including myself needing to run shorter end links unless he didn't get the right coilovers for the F10 and had to somehow use shorter end links to make it work
