Default St-ill's 05 STI Blue/black (new beach shots)

I bought my dream car about 1 year ago in May 2007. Its a 2005 World Rally Blue STI with the Gold BBS rims. It had about 37000 miles on it and was in excellent condition except for some minor chips on the hood and front bumper from highway driving. The guy that had it before me only put 3000 miles on it and had if for only 3 months. In the short time of his ownership he added the full Cobb turbo-back exhuast(sounds awesome). The first thing I did was tint the ***** out all around(15% and an eyebrow). About 2 weeks after I got her, I had to do brake pads, rotors, and tires along with rear swaybar endlinks. I went with the Potenza's and got a set of Pirelli Mud and snows for the winter. I trashed the Potenza's over the course of 3months and had to throw the Pirellis on just in time for fall. After having the car for a few months I saved up a little money and bought the Access Port. WOW! What a difference it makes than just running the stock map with an exhaust. Currently running the 93oct stage 2 map. She runs soo smooth and no check engine lights. Well now that Im almost a year out from when I bought her and Im due for an oil change(probably about my 10th in a year) gear oil change, and diff fluid. As well as tires(Pirelli Mud and snows are toast) and brakes(pads and rotors)..

I am also going to replace the endlinks again.. I looked at my car the other day and it looked like it was sitting sidways.. There was about a 2 inch gap between the passenger side tire and the wheel well, and only about half an inch on the drivers side. I work at a dealership so I threw it up on a lift and my suspension made a loud pop and the drivers side dropped. I put it back on the ground and it was sitting straight again.. WTF! I put her back in the air and my sway bar is below the axel.. and my endlinks are trashed again.. they look like C's. What endlinks should I go with?? Any suggestions?
