Aftermarket endlink advantages
 
I have my BC racing coilovers installed and they came with aftermarket front endlinks. I didnt install them and kept the stock ones but what are the advantages to aftermarket ones?
Thanks

Advantages:-adjustable!

the stock enlinks are not adjustable and when you use them with coilovers they have a chance of hitting your control arm

This is incorrect. Swaybars, bushings, and endlinks are all free to change in STX. You can also change endlinks in stock class for whichever bar you choose to change: either front or rear but not both.

Thanks for the correction! I had been told the opposite recently when discussing LCAs and STX ...
