I used the spacers included with the Ohlins kit. I never broke an endlink, just the attachment brackets on the coilover. I didn't have any contact issues with the thinner Hotchkis endlinks and still broke brackets. They are just crudely bent pieces of what I believe to be low quality flat steel without any boxing for reinforcement. They might work fine for moderately sized swaybars and less aggressive driving, but I firmly believe they weren't designed to handle a one inch bar with frequent hard cornering.
