Aftermarket sway bars, stock endlinks?

OldFart · 10-27-2013, 07:57 PM

Decided to hold off on the end links until they break or next spring. Ordered a set of Avant Gardes M310's instead. Anyone have a lead on a full set of TPMS's???? Appreciate all the responses, place is a great wealth of knowledge.

Why do the stock end links end up breaking?

Mine had some slop in them.

I asked earlier and didn't get any responses, can a suspension guru chime in on whether both bars should be upgraded or just the front on this car?
TIA.

If I wait till my stock endlinks snap. Will it hurt the car or the new swaybars?

i'd say do both. i drove right after i swapped my front bar and it felt weird. the rear brought everything together. i have a 35mm front bar though

The Hotchkis comes as a set.

Yeah, the balljoint started to fail. Also (and this is partially installer error) the nut loosened itself up over time, and rubbed some of the threads smooth so you couldn't tighten the nut down all the way so it always clunked.

To be fair, this is the first Whiteline product I've ever had a problem with, and I pretty much had their entire catalogue on my STi.

I haven't broken any. Someone else broke one. My stock endlinks are sloppy, and I went to the SPL's.

I've got one with an inch of threads worn smooth. Kinda irritating considering that SPL endlinks only cost $30-40 more. Now I've got to buy a new set.

yah, might as well spend the extra if you plan on running the bar on a stiffer setting.
