End Links
 
So my aftermarket endlinks are shot. I was curious If the OEM ones will work or if they would be to long.

What brand? With some of the budget coilovers out there they will be too long. You can get decent adjustable front endlinks from both Hotchkis and Whiteline.

how did you ruin endlinks that fast? also, there is no way anybody can answer that question without you providing any information. its probably pretty cheap to just rebuild the endlinks. why dont you just swap them out and see how it goes? endlinks arent hard to get at.

In to hear how you busted your endlinks, who made them?

I got the stance coils. I looked at some whitelines. But I was worried about length.

I bought used coilovers. and the end links I received looked like there was an impact gun used on them so now they don't tighten all the way and I hear clinking noises when driving on crappy roads.

I personally didn't. I'm just here to get info on how to fix them. I was told the end links I have are usable, and if I can get past the noise. I won't have to worry about it.

I have the rear Perrin poly endlinks and they are working good. They haven't made a front endlink yet. For the front I'm just using the stock front ones though. Perhaps the Whiteline front endlinks would be good. I'm not dropped as low as you as I'm just at 1".

at this moment i'm just trying to figure out if the OEM ones will work. I might just pick up the whiteline endlinks if it doesn't work out tho.

2008+ WRX/STI rear endlinks work for the rear of this car, even if not advertised as 86 fitment.

Kartboy and his endlinks have been in the game since '99.

I wouldn't risk it if you've dropped your car 2". They have too much preload tension on them more than likely, thus making their lifespan much shorter. That's my mildly educated guess anyway.

Seconding Kartboy for rears. My KB endlinks are going on 7 years old now.

Not sure what is out there for the front.

Chen 02-13-2013 06:43 PM

I was told the OEM ones would work. I just wanted to make sure they were the same length.

Kartboy rears for the rears.

Fronts are a crapshoot right now until we or Tom can figure something out.
