aftermarket endlinks?

I noticed my car wasn't feeling as tight around the corners as it used to so I checked under my car and yes the endlinks nut that is connected to my sway bar popped out. (I'm running the Cobb rear sway bar at the stiffest setting). When I attempt to screw the nut back in, the endlink turns with the nut and doesn't tighten well. Are there any vendors that sell aftermarket endlinks that are a little beefier than the stock ones?

Now that I'm getting more serious about setting up for the track I've been thinking the same myself.

You need to have an allen wrench in the endlink to keep it from spinning as you tighten it down.

i installed whiteline sways on my sti and the endlinks i ordered were back ordered. I ended up installing the sway bars on stock endlinks, auto crossed the car that weekend along with lots of agressive driving and bent a stock endlink

I broke my rear right end link with hotchkis sway bars. I hit the gator teeth very hard while hard on the brakes. Replacement was $70 from the dealer

Hopefully if the people from IB ever get back ahold of us, and we become a vendor we can go ahead and offer the ones we make.

they will help tighten up the feel in the back, stiffen it up a good bit. I found a pair of perrin endlinks for pretty cheap, right around 110 somewhere online, maybe lancershop.

I just wanted to say too, that is the worst design for bolts that Mitsu ever could have come up with. The stock ones will corrode a little and get really stuck on there, and then it is easy as hell to strip out that allen wrench hole. I just took mine off to upgrade it with the coilovers and all of them stripped out.... retarded..
