i built my own custom swaybar links using ultra high performance threaded rod ends. I used 1/2 inch rod ends, and some high misalignement spacers, with high tensile bolts to tie it together. stood up to racing this year no worries.

its a 2 step limiter. just built in to the tune in what sound like a very nice trick way.

i tried a Bee*R 2 step and could build as much as 15psi just sitting there shooting flames and shit. but i got rid of it because it was unpredictable and unstable.

i realy do want to get a good 2 step or LC though.

If the link bolts come loose again I may bite the bullet and get the adjustable type links that Whiteline do.

Meh it never fucking ends...
Mine came loose many times, so I bought a wl universal adjustable one. It didn't work at all. Make sure u get the vehicle specific type.

I have the white line race links with ball joints on each end. They have held together ok but clink and clank like an old Morris.

That is the better design. The bushed end is meant to run more silently.

I put these on a few weeks ago:

Front Endlinks (WRX 02-14/STi 04-14)

Rear Endlinks (WRX/STi 08-14)

Get new endlinks on there ASAP in my opinion. For me they actually made a much more noticeable improvement than just installing the sway bars. Made me kinda angry at myself for not doing them at the same time 2 years ago, lol.

Anyone know what this sensor that attaches to the rear suspension does? Did some googling and no luck yet.
