Default WL SB + Kartboy endlinks VS WL SB + WL endlinks

Hi guys.

I'm about to order WL swaybars and endlinks, I see other guys put WL SB and kartboy endlink. Why not WL SB and WL endlink? Is there any problem with WL endlinks?

Has anyone used the WL 27mm rear SB? I found it here Import Image Racing Webstore

I'll run the car on the race track and will also buy coilover, I'm thinking of buying Tein + EDFC. Please give your comments. Thanks

I have the solid white line endlinks on my 27-29mm front bar and 22-26 rear bar and couldnt be happier. Nothing hits, nothing pops, I hear no squeeking. I dont think whiteline makes the solid endlinks any more, which is the reason alot of people get the kartboys. However alot of people seem to have issues with the kartboys hitting the tie rods and the endlinks being at really funky angles.

I've never heard of anything bad about the kartboys? I don't think the whitelink endlinks are bad just that the kartboy's are good and that's why everyone gets them with the whiteline sways.

I'm using Kartboys and am very happy with it. Zero noise, and no problems with the clearance although it will be close with 27-29mm FSB.

rookie84, where in NOVA are you? You think you can take me for a spin? I just want to see how a 27mm would compare to my stocker. Just a thought, let me know if you can.

Sorry, I'm in Ohio right now for school... but there are many in NOVA that are running the same swaybar combo. Just post in mid-atlantic regeional forum and ask for a ride. I'm pretty sure someone will give you one.

I bought the kartboy endlinks b/c they were less money. There was a website that had a deal on them where you could buy them for like 180 for both front and rear. Hell, they are just as good as the whitelines, just better on price

The advantage to the adjustable pillowball Whitelines is that the length can be adjusted so you can properly corner balance the car if you are on coilovers.

99.9% of the time though, we stick with Kartboy because they are dead silent, strong, and have a great price.

That's the standard combo pack price. Any of the US Kartboy dealers should be able to give you that price for purchasing the front and rear together.

Thanks for the reply guys.

If I buy Whiteline 27mm Rear Sway bar for 04+ STI
[BSR37XXZ]

do I need Whiteline Sway Bar Mount Kit for the rear?
I biggest mount kit I found so far is for 24mm only.
Do you guys know if WL sells the mount kit for the 27mm rear? Thanks again

I went with WL and KB endlinks because of the price! The KB Endlinks are cheap! Although, I ran in problems with my endlinks hitting my tie rods .. which is a PITA so I have to check it every so often .. to see what's wrong. Sometimes I fix it and I don't hear anything for months but every so often I hear grinding ..

If money isn't a problem, I would recommend the WL endlinks.

The mount kit is the same for every swaybar, you just put a different bushing in(which the kit comes with). They really are overkill unless you had an 04(05+has beefy mounts from the factory). The only reason I have them is because I bought my sways used and the guy had them and threw them in. If you want to spend the 100 bucks, go for it, if not, you wont be missing any performance.
