IWSTI Addict since: Feb 2004 Trader Rating: (6) | yes spacers are fine if you need them and if you only need one just use one but do not drive your car if it is hitting--you will cause damage to your tierod and steering rack and even yourself if something catches or gets thrown out of wack trust me this bar and endlink combination works--i have it and so do alot of other people-- its just that some people have put there bars on wrong and blame the endlinks -- make sure your bar is on correctly--also you may want to check the number on the bar to make sure it is the right one for your car--someother people have also recieved the wrong bars from vendors--but make sure you do everything on the ground or on ramps to make sure it is loaded This ad is not endorsed by this member.

you can have it on backwords and still look semi-right--i have seen it the bar can be flipped and rolled back into place | |

| Junior STI Driver | Yes front and rears are different lengths, the fronts are the shorter ones. If you switch front and rear the rear bar will be fine but the fronts will hit the tie rod right where yours is. Also the stock end links on an 06 are different length front and rear. I've been through this and after measuring etc and talking to Kartboy I swapped the fronts and rears and everything was fine. |

IWSTI Addict since: Sep 2005 Trader Rating: (9) | Had this problem initially when I was on RCE Springs. They would rub ever so slightly. After getting my T2's in and having some height changes as well as ball joint extenders put in, the problem no longer exists. What are your suspension mods? Depending on your ride height, it's likely that the stock ones might be needed to prevent some rubbing on the tie rod. FWIW, Stock links up front will do just fine. I have Kartboys all around for added security. I also run the spacers up front. Kind Regards, Ryan |

IWSTI Addict since: Sep 2004 Trader Rating: (0) | But then if the cars weight is on the links, wouldnt it be harder to get the bolts loose ? I just recently switched my hole in the rear by disconnected the link from the bar and placing a hydraulic jack under the control arm and lifted up the arm to match the new hole and retightened. |
