The 05+ endlinks should be fine, especially since you're only set on med/med. But the aftermarket ones are always nice to have.

 

you know you just responded to a 10 month old post right?... I'm sure he's already done whatever he was gonna do

But anyway... if you are significantly lowered, adjustable end links are advantageous - as OEM will be at a wrong angle (and put undue stress on the link).

But if not lowered much (or at all) - yes the 05+ beefier end links are fine.

 

Hey, I didn't bump this thread...

 

no, but you responded to a bump form 10 months ago

 

i bumped it sorry, i busted an end link because i didnt adjust them when i lowered. i just wanted to be subscribed to this thread so i could find it again so i remember how to adjust them later.

 

+1, You are so right. My car stays on a level linear path around the tightest "s" turns. I love my new Hotchkis swaybars, only been on for about 3 days, starting to get the pop up front, looking into new endlinks, today I may get under there and make sure everything is tightened. I have experience with bolts magically loosening after a few days and have to re-tighten, it is a part of putting aftermarket parts on your ride.

 

^ The priority of mods for better handling is: Tires, sway bars, struts, springs, chassis. The biggest mistake a newb can make is getting a stiff suspension, or turning the **** on their adjustable struts to full stiff.

 

yeah I thought so also. But when I got my car I broke out the loot for a set of Pirelli P-Zero's and I could get the rear end to swing around very easy. Then I tried cheap Federal 454 SS's and they were great for about 10k miles then even though they still half tread were getting pretty slippery, now I have Goodyear GT's, and they grab the road great, they hardly ever spin, great jump and grip from a stand still, handle turns good, just wish they had some more sidewall stability (even though they are 35 series), The sway bars on the other hand show up everyday, and you do not have to worry about checking the pressure, or if they are running low, buy 'em once and your done, and the bad part is the tires cost more than the sways, I think tires should be second or maybe third, if you have a stiff chassis, and your sways are decent, you can slide by with an average set of tires, but pay lots for tires and no money left for other stuff and the tires are gone in a few months.

 

I've heard of PowerGrid and SPL... but what about CZP ? http://www.conceptzperformance.com/C...369.84.119.160
Has anyone tried those ?

I just got a set of Cusco sways and gonna drop my coupe w/ coilovers, was looking into new endlinks and came across it...

 

so what are ppl going with SPL or powergrid??

 

are they any good?

 

Old post, I know... but ultimately, mods will help fulfill the potential of good tires. In other words, since your tires dictate how much traction your car has, your handling can only be as good as your tires. All the mods in the world mean nothing without good tires. But that doesn't mean your car doesn't suck and great tires will make the pos handle like a go-kart. You need all the other parts to be up to level as well.

Most tires available now are very good as opposed to the selection a decade or so ago. The problems we get to deal with nowadays when we are selecting a set of tires now is how well they wear, and comfort, and if we want extreme performance or winter traction. A while ago, you'd be worried how good traction was, and if the tire would blow out, and such.

 

Unless you are looking for looks, they all work the same. IMO, all you need is the adjustability, so just get the cheapest one you can find.

 

yes
