Wow this thing is cool!!
I like the swivel link idea pretty cool.
Just talked to Wayne Due this morning and looks like he is going to install it and its getting a C5 subframe.
Just waiting for my wheels to come in.

Yeah, no kidding. So far the only images I have seen have been in cartoon form (CAD drawings).
Someone take some photos of one of these things.

You can see it in the pic below. The end shown (larger tubing diameter) is free to swivel around the main link (smaller tubing diameter). Picture yourself grabbing the main link with one hand and rotating the end with your other hand. It works in conjunction with the high durometer rubber bushing.
So you get the best of both worlds: The freeplay of a heim joint plus the ride characteristics of rubber bushing. I believe DSE has applied for a patent.

Oh, and the swivel is captured--not threaded. So the length of the link does not change with rotation.

For those that still dont understand. Here is an arrow pointing exactly where it swivels. Make sure you zoom the pic 100% :) After the pic gets big, click it again and it should get bigger.
