Well my Whiteline Adjustable Spherical Bearing Endlinks *newest version* for the front and rear have arrived! Got you beat Sebastian! They look really nice, good quality and really beefy looking. I will take more pics once I get them put together and stuff when I get them installed hopefully this weekend. For now, enjoy the pics of them in the bags! Also on order from JnJ Associates is a Pyrotect Closed Face SA2005 helmet in black along with a Bell Helmet bag. UPS guy must love my house!

Damn IT!! Ok, I'll accept the loss

I was hitting boost creep, the Fedex truck was not starting, then he had a flat tire, ran out of gas and got lost coming home

They look real nice, kinda different from the brochure, but they do look nice.

Also they mention that you can adjust them installed, but if you look at them you really cannot. They are fixed to the bar, i need to see them....

Chris05STi · 02-02-2006, 08:44 AM

The middle part has a bolt that you can use an open ended wrench so while they are installed you can turn it clockwise or counter clock wise to lengthen or shorten the height!

Very nice Chris. I am sure you will enjoy your new toys

Well, on Saturday I went to my friends house (Ian) and installed my Cusco F&R Sways *Thanks to Adam over at Z1*, Whiteline Sway Bar Mounts, and Whitelines Spherical Bearing Adj Endlinks. Install was pretty smooth thanks to Ian's lift!!

The front sway bar was easy, just had to take some crossbrace plate in the middle, and then snake the old one out with the new one. The endlinks, well I thought they would be the best ones, thinking they were the newest version out there. I was liking the quality and beefy'ness of them, but its true, you can't adjust them while they are bolted, unless you unbolt them and adjust them that way. If I had a second chance, I would def have just gotten the solid endlinks that Whiteline makes. Honestly I would in the future prob sell these and buy the solid ones, just because adjusting endlinks isn't really needed. (Any takers???? Serious!) The sway bars are great and really solid. On the otherhand, Whiteline's Heave Duty Sway Bar mount for the rear sway bar is def worth it. It is really really solid, and puts the stocker to shame. Other than wanting to change eventually from the adj to the solid Whiteline endlinks, everything was up to par of my expectations. The difference is noticeable. I set the rear bar for now in the middle setting, but soon will set it to the most aggressive. Here are some pics taken during the install. Enjoy!

Here is Whiteline's heavy duty rear sway bar mount:

Heres another shot of the endlinks bolted up to the sway bar:

Nice pics, needs aftermarket exhaust.

LightWerkz · 02-05-2006, 08:14 PM

Nice Chris...

Def go with the solid mounts, just seems easier and better...

I put it all in this saturday (pics in my journal) and its a blast!

lennyk1313 · 02-05-2006, 11:38 PM

Looks Good Chris. Have fun with it

.

sebtarta · 02-06-2006, 03:04 AM

Chris very nice indeed. Unfortunately i had some issues with my front endlinks

But you car is coming along, as SVT said....where is the Aftermarket Exhaust??

Chris05STi · 02-06-2006, 03:23 AM

I knew someone was going to notice that the stocker looks mad ugly in that one pic, and ask when the new exhaust is coming in...lol. After the DP comes, the exhaust is the next thing coming, then hopefully an install day with you Sebastian??!!!

So basically you are missing the DP and that is it right? do i hear *click click add to cart click click*

Chris05STi · 02-06-2006, 03:50 AM

Well I am missing the DP, the Cat-back exhaust, and exhaust hangers. Other than that, all I need is stuff for track day, and SOLID ENDLINKS! Loool.
