Help buying Suspension parts

Thanks for the suggestion. They look a lot like what superpro and whiteline make.

My main reason for wanting to switch was to deal with the eccentric bolt possibly slipping. After some more research and chatting with friends it seems that the stock eccentric bolt setup is fine. So I really have no need for toe arms.

There is a 30mm-ish difference in height on the endlink mounting point of the KWs compare to factory strut, hence why a shorter endlink is desired (if factory endlink is used, it will hit the lower control arm), of all the after market links I tried they have clearance issue for running high camber (say -3.5ish or more). They bind on the lower body of the shock or against the side wall. Oem-styled (non adjustable) endlinks tends to be more form fitting. I don't corner weight balance and set my coilovers the exact height side to side so pre-load is negligible, the rubber bushings in the suspension is good enough for me.

Something like a JRZ where it retains the same endlink mounting location can use the factory endlink just fine.

Yeah I see there is a lot of information out there on what end links to use depending on the sway bar you run with the KWs

I just went with KLC179 which is 225-250mm in length. Seems to match the OEM endlink at max height. I plan to run the OEM bar so I think these should work. We shall find out lol

Is this true for the RCE Supersport-2? So perhaps my plan to run factory endlinks might not work...

Yeah, that's the route I'd want to go for max clearance for max camber...

Just got feedback from RCE that '23 endlinks will work fine with Superstreet-2 coilovers.

I might just have to ask them myself but do you have any idea if the GR86 end links are different to the GT86 endlinks ?

I do not know...

Front endlinks are the same for 1st and 2nd gen.

I used OEM on my own 1st gen with SS1s. We've also used Whiteline, SPL, and a custom set I made for myself.

Clearance is tight no matter what, so keep an eye on it! There are a couple of variables that make things different car to car (ride height, camber at the hub, camber from the top mount).

Thanks for updating the thread. Whiteline makes a few different sizes but I feel confident the ones I got will work especially if OEM does.

Thanks again
