Are there any upgraded swaybars that use stock endlinks?

all of them

I used stock endlinks with my ST kit.

I heard you have to change them though. Hm.

 

[BlackMKIII]

Not my STs. Only took about an hour and a half with two guys working.

You mean changing the endlinks? Only if they break, which happens when using too soft springs or dampers, from what i hear. If you are running performance springs and dampers, the sway bar end links do fine. Sway bars are a very good handling mod.

I'm on bilstein struts/stock springs. I'm guessing they're too soft.

Yup you can run stockers on all. It is the matter of how long they will last.

When I did my swaybars, I needed new endlinks due to the fact I had to grind off most of the endlink... err, links. Bolts were fused on and the allen key side wasn't in all that great of condition.

It cost me 415 bucks for a new set of 4... or something like that.

the rear swaybars are notorious for ripping out the mounting tabs when you put them on too stiff, another thing you might want to keep in mind.

Why do you want to go through all the effort of keeping the old endlinks? Doesn't BIC sell adjustable endlinks for $130/pair?

Yes we got endlinks, and they are adjustable too, for fine tuning of pre load or legnthening when using the "stiffer holes" on the Rear ST bar.

Factory endlinks work from the 86.5-88 cars. 89+ used a plastic link on the rear to keep from breaking the tabs. Unfortunately, the stiffer bars will simply snap them instead, and when you upgrade to something that can take it, you need to reinforce the mounting tabs...
