Adjustable Front Anti Roll Bar Endlinks for BRZ and FR-S
 
2 Attachment(s)
When you lower the vehicle, the swaybar is moved from the ideal factory geometry to an offset that decreases the ability of the swaybar to perform. The swaybar frame mount and the end of the bar should be on the same horizontal plane. The factory endlinks are a solid piece. When the car is lowered, the OEM links cannot compensate for the longer length needed to keep the swaybar in its ideal location. Get immediate response from your sway bar and precise control over your suspension. What this means to you is tighter, more responsive handling.

HP Autowerks is happy to introduce adjustable endlinks for your Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S. With adjustable endlinks you can return the bar to its ideal leverage point while lowered. They also afford the peace of mind that the links or shock link mount will not fail as is common in factory units, as they will now be adjusted properly. The links are adjustable in length up to an additional 1.25" over stock. HP Autowerks end links are adjustable while on the vehicle.

He didn't post a price, so it's ok

OP, how much can one lower these cars before needing to compensate the end link length? The suspension geometry was apparently designed to be perfect when sitting 20mm lower than stock; I wonder if that includes the length of the end links.

This is a product release so the community knows what is new out there for the BRZ and FR-S.

Any suspension movement in either direction will move the anti roll bar geometry outside of the most ideal position. Adjustable endlinks will get you back to where the geometry is perfect and to take full advantage of the anti roll bar.

This looks pretty good. Any better pictures of the ends?

Yes, you are correct.

celica73 10-15-2012 10:06 PM

Do they have left and right threads on them, or does one end have to be removed in order to adjust the length?

LH and RH threads. The endlinks are adjustable mounted, no need to remove them.

Quality stuff the THK balljoint.
