I went Eibach...body roll was dramatically reduced. Very stiff ride but I LOVE it!

Hi Rusty

Whiteline most certainly makes rear endlinks. They're garbage. I've got a broken set sitting on a shelf in my garage right now. SPL links will work with any sway bar that I can think of. They won't break, and they cost ~$30 more. It's a no-brainer.

It's very odd. I've ran pretty much the entire Whiteline catalog on other vehicles and been very happy. The endlinks are the first failure I've ever had of one of their parts.

Whats the difference? Thickness? Subis run kart boy solid links. Why not 370's? I could make some steel ones

The threads strip on the whiteline links. I've got a set with the first 3/4" of the threaded part worn smooth. My guess is they use softer steel than they should.

I ran a set of Kartboys on several Subies with no complaints. Before you go to too much effort take a look at the SPL ones. They seem plenty beefy and they're still fairly reasonably priced.

Hi Rusty,
Are the end links upgrade mandatory, must?
I mean can I run the car with stock ones? and for how long?
What about Nismo end links? are they better than the sport model ones?

Thanks,
NASM

The adjustable end links are not mandatory. But for corner balancing, they are. Plus if you know what you are doing. You can preload the chassis.

The Nismo end links are just rebadged SPL's with a price increase.

I got it, you meant to achieve almost zero preload.
Is there any DIY or a video explain the same on 370z, using SPL endlinks installation?
