I'd be shocked if you broke a front unless you're on a track. The rears will break with everyday driving. Lubing the sway bar bushing more often will keep them alive longer, but eventually they'll let go.

My car may see 1-2 track days a year. Hell, I'd get just the rear to save some cash if the fronts are not a necessity.
I've also made a decision to sell my SPC front camber arms(waiting to put on) and just go with SPL. $340vs$170....

Those guys had the best price and was matched by another as well.
I'm still seriously contemplating getting just the rear end links alone. Anyone just running the rears?

honestly if i was to install my stillen swaybar set (i have a brand new set in my parts bin) i would only install the front and leave the rear bar stock.
right now i only have the front whiteline installed. stock endlinks and all. car feels great. perfect match for stock suspension. |

like they just welded up a bar, took it around for a spin to confirm no sway, and sell sell sell. ![]() ive not read too much on the s-tune. wat are the stiffness vs stock on those? and yah, endlinks usually break progressively (unlike them old wrx SNAP! endlinks)... you will hear knocking noise over uneven roads at slow speeds like in parking lots. the whiteline rear endlinks appeared to just break apart though looking at some of the posts.

went full stiff on my rear sway and the car handles even better. i don't know why keeping the stocker or ditching the rear is touted as being good. maybe the car is too squirrelly for some

![]() I've got a set of Hotchkis bars and have no complaints. I think the people claiming the car ends up too squirrely with a big rear bar are running a completely different suspension setup. If you've got stiff coilovers, the addition of a big rear bar may make it a bit too tail happy. The springs I'm on aren't that much stiffer than stock, so the big bar balances everything out nicely. You get the body roll reduction of a much stiffer spring, but only feel the tradeoff when you hit a bump off-center. To me, I'd prefer too much bar and not enough spring for something I drive everyday. For a track slut, I'd go with a much stiffer spring/damper combo, and add just enough bar to balance things out.

Not really. If you break them, replace them. Don't worry about it until they let go.

Well, I have both stillen sways that are brand new and I'd like to utilize them both.
My suspension is not OEM however. I am using BC coils and I know that lowering the car a substantial amount and adding sway bars puts quite a bit of stress on the OEM end links. I know that cutting corners isn't always the best thing, but if the front end links can handle the stress, I only see the need to purchase SPL rear end links. I'm curious as to if anyone else has done the same.
