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?

Shouldn't, unless the broken end hits something. It should just hang down.

Do the end links break cuz the sway bar is set to the stiffest setting? Or what exactly makes them break?

The way I understand it is the stiffer sway resists the movement of the endlink more, putting greater strain on the link. Eventually, it ***** the bed.

Ordered the Eibach sways f/r from Tire rack, will post impressions once their installed.
I have the Z Speed shroud to go on too along with an oil change.
Now just debating aftermarket end links.
Sometimes this car is worse than owning a boat.
