Front Endlinks
 
Does anyone know if front endlinks are currently available for the FR-S? If so who sells them? I upgraded the sway bars and now the fronts are slightly bowed. (Replaced the rear endlinks)

I have been looking for some time and can't seem to find any which leads me to believe there are none available.

Fortune Auto, BC, D2, K Sport etc all include front endlinks with their coilovers. They are shorter than the factory though. I wonder if you can just purchase them separately, I haven't seen anything else for the front yet.

Only thing I'd worry about is if I could still get them to fit wouldn't there be more stress on them due to the fact that they aren't the propper length?

I seriously hope a suspension company takes on some R&D for the front endlinks for a stock set-up. As of right now I lack the funds to drop anywhere from $1300-$2000 on coilovers. :/

yeah, i wouldnt put shorter endlinks on there if the car isnt lowered, will probably keep the sway bar from sitting level..

They are adjustable. If you can measure the length of the stock endlink. I have a set of the "shorter" ones here, I will see if they can be extended.

In addition if you go on Jegs or Summit you can buy some threaded rod, and rod ends you can easily put together a set for yourself. If you get the measurements right you won't even need to do any work, just screw it together. Would be a fun project.

I do have Tein H-Techs installed actually (brain fart) :bonk:
But would that even make a difference? since wouldn't the mounting brackets on the strut still be the same distance apart from the sway bar?

No Limit-I will measure them tonight once I get home from work and I'll send you a PM

the sway bar should be lower then, because the mounts points on the chassis are sitting lower..

Typically you would want longer endlinks to get the bar as close to ideal geometry as possible after lowering a car.

Looks like the holes are approx. 10" appart

I work for Ground Control...we just finished up the R&D yesterday on a forum members car and we have endlinks front and rear .These are fully adjustable with aircraft grade rod ends. We have not added these to the website yet, but here is a link to show what they will resemble. http://www.ground-control-store.com/...ion.php/II=677

Nice! For the front units, will they allow for length adjustment while still attached to the sway bar/chassis or will one end need to be unbolted to adjust length?

Sweet, thanks for the link. Let me know when they are available and how much. :)
