I am thinking of going with a new front (adjustable) and rear swaybar from Stillen.

The bars do not come with new endlinks, and it says for me to use my stock ones.

Is this wise? I believe new bushings are provided however.

Advice greatly appreciated.

 

I would buy new ones. Do yourself a favor and get a matched set with links included.

 

If I am not mistaken, the only matched sites with links are BMR & Steeda?

The Stillens looked interesting as they were 1/2 the price of the sets above.

 

You can get an Eibach setup w/end links as well. In any event, they're all good quality and you should feel the difference.

 

I did the Eibach sway bar with end links. The stock end links look wimpy compared to the aftermarket ones. I suppose that what really matters is how hard you drive it. But definitely you want upgraded bushing.

 

I know this is forward, but you might want to contact me by phone about this.

A number of factors, not the least of which is what many call endlinks in the rear, are not. They are simply bar mounts. The fronts use endlinks, the rears do not.

Further the particular set of bars you are looking at uses a different mounting setup in the rear that is not like factory and adds unsprung weight to the car (not what you want). A big reason they cost less fwiw....

I got fed up with the bars that were around and came up with a set just for my company. I use a 35mm/22mm combo, but both are adjustable, and both are hollow too, and they mount just like OEM, no adding parts to make them fit, no bolting to the axle, etc. And we have combinations that are available with one of 3 different front adjustable endlinks, or you use your stock front links...

 

Where can i find upgraded bushings? Energy Suspension?

 

Yup.

Jegs or Summit as well.

 

I kept the stock, have cornered really hard at least a couple times a week, done a couple auto crosses and never had any problems. If the end links weren't up to the task, I'm not sure what the symptoms would be though.
