The stock ones will probably break at some point.

I don't remember offhand, but the Whitelines are pretty cheap as far as aftermarket ones go. Wait until the OEM ones break, then upgrade.

I live in upstate N.Y. There are many lightly traveled country roads here. I used to, since I'm "special" "slightly touched in the head" do some very "spirited" driving.
The first thing I noticed when going fast on curvy roads was my car leaning to it's limits then the tires started to scream. For those not familiar with that scream, it's like when you're with a girl and, never mind.

My biggest fear was the tires losing their grip or the rubber/tire slipping off the wheel. I think stiff sway bars would be a must for drifting. I think if my car didn't lean so much, I probably would have drifted into a tree.

Now I'm a big believer in parts matching each other/working together. That post^^^^^^ you just posted helps me explain. Again, this is not my expertise, but I think just like a high performance camshafts can make you lose H.P. without matching H.D spring, & or upgraded exhaust, tune, gas, etc. etc. I think heavy duty sway bars need more stuff to be affective. Of course they may help in a right turn that you calls for 10mph & you make it at 15mph

I'm open to listen & learn from you and more from people with road track experience.

Stick with the stock end links for now. Eyeball them any time you're under the car.

For you nay'sayers about aftermarket sway bars. If you haven't tried them. You don't know what you are missing! And have no business talking about them because you have no experince with them.

That's about $500 for sway bars and end links. Might as well buy HFCs...

You don't have to buy the end links immediately. Might as well wait until the OEM ones break. And sways will be a much more worthwhile mod than HFCs. You'll notice them every time you turn the wheel.
