stillen sways...need end link opinions!

critical

my bars are pretty beefy and my end links are still functioning



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.

ive not had one physically pop out on my many cars ive modded. perhaps there is a reason why mine dont just suddenly pop out or break so easily.

a lot of folks in general just put things together without really thinking why a car was designed a certain way and just go all out on their own expecting something huge...well, experience says, there is no such easy way.

there are compromises to any mod you do. some things are better left alone...especially if one's only tracking their car in their heads. lol

And what reason do you think that is? Just because something hasn't happened to you, doesn't mean it can't or won't happen. I've known plenty of people who have snapped OE endlinks with bigger sway bars on a variety of vehicles.

My 2 cents:

Upgrade to SPL. I haven't done them yet, but I've already had to get a stock endlink repaired.
