I was told that the MY11+ doesn't need the endlinks since the stock ones are well and truely sufficient. Apparently they are only needed for the older models as their endlinks are made of plastic and are much weaker.

Ask your insurance company if they are happy for you to run spacers Jamie......my guess would be no.

If you do go for rotas to improve your "stance", keep the BBS rims and flip your stock tires onto them. If its too much money, stick with the BBS rims IMO....as Shane said, you'd be crazy to sell off the stockies.

I get all the arguments for and against, but I'd think the clamping/friction forces you could get on the faces would be greater than the torque under braking? I need to work it all out...

I guess insurance wouldn't like the CAI, CBE and everything else either, so I'd rather put my faith in engineering ...and yeah, those BBSs would be staying in my sweaty hands if I do decide to remove them.

Wasn't what I heard when I spoke to John at Wheels World about them.
Then again I only had the car for a couple of months before they were upgraded, so at that point in time there wasn't much information at hand on what had actually been changed for the MY11 models.

To be honest I don't. Going on your clamping/friction argument - you would need to make sure that every time you put your nuts on you use a torque wrench to get them correct and even, wouldn't you? could get annoying maybe

I don't have first hand experience with them, purely going off what I have been told or read.





that is apparently with 25mm spacers

Ok then, well that was what I was told when i asked for a pricing of whiteline sway bars and endlinks from Mao.. He told me don't get endlinks for MY11+ for the reason that they do nothing more than standard ones.
