Need adjustable end links- chime in with reccomendations

Hey guys,

Turns out the popping noise I've been hearing is most likely from my sway bar end link. I need to buy some adjustable ones, anyone have a suggestion?

I see you've been through this Will!

I will probably go with the powergrids from what I've read and seen. Thanks guys!

The end links will eventually wear out. Since Adam has quite a bit of track time and has dialed in his suspension for road race, i would imagine his setup to experience more wear and tear than the normal street setup. I've got the Nismo sways and the endlinks eventually wore out after quite a while.

Was I supposed to connect your end links to your sway bars? Oh Sh****t, I forgot and left them hanging. Just kidding yash!

I have SPL end links as well. On the front, there are two pieces to the spacer. One piece (the conical piece) and the short cylinder looking thing that looks like a thick washer. I used both, and this washer wore out, which lead to a clicking sound. I have since removed this washer and only use the cone spacer. Everything is fine now.

The 06 and up endlinks are beefier. I already have those, and they finally wore out after about 1500 miles. It's exactly as Will said, due to the track time and road race suspension tuning I now have to get aftermarket parts.

Does anyone other than Z1 carry the powergrids? I am thinking if I'm gonna go aftermarket with the endlinks, might as well go all out. But Z1 is currently out and will get their next shipment next week.

By the way, anyone with pre 06 endlinks can get the 06 end links under warranty, that's what I did last year.
