Default Proforged Suspension parts

Anyone use Proforged LCA, BJ, Sway bar links? Any feedback? Other durable brands you can suggest?

Thanks

I had a pair of Proforged front sway bar links installed a few years ago. While they are beefier than the stock links, their outer construction is similar to other (less expensive) aftermarket links. Proforged claims that their links have forged/hardened internals which I hope is what I really paid for.

And FWIW, I have Mevotech Terrain Tough links on my rear bar. Those are extra beefy(probably overkill) and come with grease fittings, unfortunately they're only available for the rear of the 7th gen.

Replaced the links with a set i got from Amazon (don't remember brand). Had dealer replace compliance bushings. I also replaced the shocks with KYBs. Shock replacement was fairly easy. Rides much better. This was on my v6. I also had the CBs replaced on my L4. Shocks still ok.

My next project is to put a reverse camera to connect to the Xtrons 10.1 radio i installed. This is an android radio that has many features.

Glad to hear you had the suspension issues handled...I do realize my response was a bit late.
My first major suspension upgrades(Koni STR.T/Eibach kit, Godspeed front upper arms, KSP rear upper arms, Mevotech rear lower arms) are presently sitting in a box, waiting for Winter(and potholes!) to go away.
And(off-topic)...I'd be very interested to know how well the Xtrons head unit works for you. I've been looking at several custom-fit flat screens as a possible near-future addition.

The unit fit very well i must say. It's a bit slow to turn on and a bit iffy to program. But overall it's better than the factory unit. I plan to get another one for my other 07. It takes many video inputs including rear camera. I had to communicate with their tech support quite a bit to iron things out since it does not come with a manual. I think it's the best Android 10.1 unit out there.
