What front sway bar endlinks to use?

So Ive got a swap, and in swapping, I sourced an STi x-member with STi steering rack (Talked the guy on craigslist down to $120 for all of it, thinking it was just a WRX! ), and It came with the front sway bar too.

Now, I have my stock 96 OBS control arms and it broke the endlinks of the sway bar. Does anyone know if I can use the STi endlinks, the 96OBS endlinks or do I need to get new front control arms?

Or should I just say f- it and fab someting?

Pick up some whitelines or something.

But if it was me I'd call LIC or GST, one of the shops with experience with these swaps.

I used stock STi endlinks, and since its an STi sway bar with 96 OBS control arms, they broke.

I fear if I use whiteline or something like that, they wiull bend.
