Default Endlinks?

I've got a quote from Wilkinsons Suspensions to upgrade the swaybars, install a ALK and an alignment in my MY11 STI. I was wondering if I should get the endlinks done too?

Any of you suspension guru's here reckon I should get endlinks done as well? Any other suspension mods?

Not going coilover atm, and leaving the springs stock too for the time being.

Got quoted 24mm front & 22mm rear adjustable bars. All whiteline gear.

Cheers

If you are selling your stock rear (should be 19mm) I will gladly take it off your hands.

Do the end links as well. How much are they charging to supply the swaybars?

$1403 for the lot, including endlinks. Don't know the breakdown of the swaybars.

For fitment consideration, u only need front endlink.

For the sake of quality, stay away from any whiteline products with a ball joint, endlink, roll centre kit etc. My WL endlink's rubber boot didnt last more than a year.....

Two sway bar should cost u around 600. fitting should be 2hr worth of workshop labour. Have a look this:
Suspension, Bushings, Mounts - Whiteline Suspension - 11-13 WRX STI - Pro Speed Racing

If u wanna buy local, and dont wanna buy from other whiteline dealer, ie evolution r. Repco can get u any whiteline gear for a good price too.

If your current end links are plastic then upgrade them for sure.

Personally think $1400 is a bit rich..
Buy kit yourself and fit or as Gordon mentions, others can do the work.
And yes I'd do links aswell.

Yeah, what Gordan said. I would be jumping for joy
If someone handed me $1400 to supply and fit bars
and links.

I don't think the price is that bad.

Rear sway bar with diff mounts is $300 plus fitting
Front sway $300 plus fitting
Alk $160 plus fitting
Four wheel alignment $180 ish

Forgot endlinks $360 plus install.

So $100 left over for install.
Prices from online Whiteline store. I'm guessing Wilkinsons are not quoting those catalogue prices
