So I've been working with a local suspension shop to develop a rear endlink option for our cars. We all know that with an aftermarket sway bar, or with aggressive driving our stock endlinks can bend and fail. The company who is doing all of the manufacturing has been making endlinks for cars now for over 10 years, so they have an established name in the market. I don't want to say too much about them, but from the looks of it they look beefy as hell and will most likely be cheaper than any of the current adjustable versions out there.




What do you guys think? Looking for some input, thanks guys.


Edit 11/11/11: Endlinks are on, gonna put some hard mileage on them with the stock sway bar until the Whiteline 27mm bar comes in. Its in the mail so it should be here within the week.




Stock Comparison:





This is just one side, two full sides will obviously be included in the kit.



On the car





We do realize that there is a side load being placed onto the bushing, we do not foresee this being an issue at all. Sets just like this, with this same fitment have been running strong for 7 plus years.




And just for ****s and giggles:

hmmmmmmm?

 

They look tough..

 

depends on the price, optimally they'd be adjustable, but if the price is right solid will do also... but personally i'd only buy adjustable endlinks

 

agree with above adjustable

 

i like the bushs do more solid looking job

 

The adjustables obviously cost more money, and really serve no purpose to your average weekend warrior. The reason to have adjustability is to fine tune corner balancing. These are perfect for street and track users who want a quiet endlink that works day in and day out.

 

Huzzah! Glad to see these.

Their parts are super durable, quiet, and hassle free. These will be great for a car that still sees the street. Looking forward to them.

These look nice! I didn't realize that there were problems with the X endlinks for occasional track days/spirited driving

 

very nice! any ideas on pricing?

 

In roundy-round racing, maybe, but for people who turn both left and right, you should never, ever, do the corner-balancing with the swaybars. You should balance the car with ride-height adjustments and then set the swaybar endlinks to having zero preload. If you don't have adjustable coilovers, you should probably still leave the swaybars with no preload and just live with the lack of balance.

 

^what he said

 

Not by any means did I mean to corner balance a car using the endlinks. You are correct about the circle racing, that is why it doesn't really benefit to do them on a street car because you'll never need to adjust them.

 

updated pictures added to the first post. As far as pricing goes, we have an idea but were holding off on announcing it until we test these out to make sure no adjustments have to be made that would drive up the price. The color will be a flat milspec silver, and not feature any sort of engraving. All these things would just drive the price up and not have any substantial benefit.

 

looks good so far

 

Hm. Swap ball-joint end-links with almost zero compliance for those with squishy bushings. No thanks. The stock bars are already too soft.
