That’s what I did. I also grease the fittings every time I have the undertray off. At minimum you should every oil change. Ungreased sway bar is #1 reason for broken end links.

Those thing never take into account handling and braking ability. Hard to quantify but that saves a lot of Z owners from accidents.

My Fit registration ran out last Nov. Haven't been driving it much except a few loads to the nearby storage unit. But I take old City of Austin parking stickers (prints out at the kiosk and then you stick it to the inside of the windshield on the curb side) and stick it on the driver side just to have something there since I never put on the original registration sticker from when I bought the car. It doesn't look that close, but something there is better than nothing. And it doesn't look like deliberate deception when they do say something

That's the kind of info I was looking for

Although I'm guessing the SPL end links may hold up a bit better than stock...

For sure. It’s the rear links that end up breaking. If you break a front one, that’s talent.

Nope. I've got something nasty going on at my ankle. Doc saw it yesterday but didn't think it was anything to be worried about.
