oh, and chuck...

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.

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

oop, sorry, someone else had that then. it was completely separated....

Rusty

Yea, I seen the picture of it. Brain fart, I can't remember who it was.

I had one of my whiteline rear end links break. They were nice enough to replace it with a supposedly newer design/model which honestly looks mostly the same, but they do have good customer service (despite me buying the end link months ago). I just went back to stock. We will see how it holds up next season when I go back to the track.

Just installed Eibach front and rear bars and SPL links, which definitely appear more robust than the stock links. Short initial test drive through some roundabouts feels great, more like a go-cart.
I think it's time for some new tires though, the VDC light was coming on more than it used to.
Gonna have to wait for better weather to put it through the paces.
On a side note I threw the Z speed shield on when I was done. Nice piece and obviously a huge improvement over the flimsy oem tupperware.

Been reading over this thread. I have the Stillen sways, and the difference is definitely felt everytime I turn the wheel or change lanes. I saw all these reports about the endlinks breaking, and now I am worried my stock set will give eventually as well. I am lowered on coils, and have my fronts set to soft and rears set to full stiff. Should I just buy the rear endlinks for now, or do you guys recommend replacing both front and rears?

Seems like most people are only experiencing rear end link failures...
