Whose got aftermarket end links?

Looking to get some end links for my rear sway bar....my OEM end links are creaking now. I've read that Nismo aren't worth the money, so should I just get the SPL?

i've got the powergrid endlinks from adam at z1. they use the OEM style joints, rather than spherical bearings. they have worked out very well for me so far, even under harsh track conditions. adjustable end links are absolutely necessary to corner balance the car (and neutralize the preload on swaybars).

Adjustable Swaybar endlinks...?

For a week now I've been searching the web for endlinks that are adjustable.
Several companys sell them but not for our cars. TH Motorsports sells some
but then again there for the WRX or Hondas. Sways don't really start working
until you dump those OEM (weak) endlinks! I'll keep look'in.....

it adjusts the overall length of the endlink. this allows you to remove any preload placed on the swaybar.

I think I may just order new OEM end links cuz they're way cheaper. And I don't really track the car.

Nothing is wrong with them. The other ones just look a lot nicer... more worth the money. The SPL ones look like they can be replicated with parts from the local hardware store.

I have the SPLs and I don't have any problems (clunking, etc.)!!
They work real well!
Both, the SPLs and PowerGrids, are top-of-the-line products.

Here is a "comparsion" between the SPL, PowerGrid and Stock End Links:
