Front Endlinks
Does anyone know if front endlinks are currently available for the FR-S? If so who sells them? I upgraded the sway bars and now the fronts are slightly bowed. (Replaced the rear endlinks)
I have been looking for some time and can't seem to find any which leads me to believe there are none available.

Only thing I'd worry about is if I could still get them to fit wouldn't there be more stress on them due to the fact that they aren't the propper length?
I seriously hope a suspension company takes on some R&D for the front endlinks for a stock set-up. As of right now I lack the funds to drop anywhere from $1300-$2000 on coilovers. :/

yeah, i wouldnt put shorter endlinks on there if the car isnt lowered, will probably keep the sway bar from sitting level..

In addition if you go on Jegs or Summit you can buy some threaded rod, and rod ends you can easily put together a set for yourself. If you get the measurements right you won't even need to do any work, just screw it together. Would be a fun project. |

But would that even make a difference? since wouldn't the mounting brackets on the strut still be the same distance apart from the sway bar? No Limit-I will measure them tonight once I get home from work and I'll send you a PM

Typically you would want longer endlinks to get the bar as close to ideal geometry as possible after lowering a car.

I work for Ground Control...we just finished up the R&D yesterday on a forum members car and we have endlinks front and rear .These are fully adjustable with aircraft grade rod ends. We have not added these to the website yet, but here is a link to show what they will resemble. http://www.ground-control-store.com/...ion.php/II=677 http://www.ground-control-store.com/...ion.php/II=832 Last edited by GC_Adam; 08-30-2012 at 03:17 PM. |
