Can't tell the difference

I just installed Perrin endlinks to work with my cusco rear swaybar that I've had on my car for a while. However, I cant really tell the "day and night" difference as to how my car is acting now compared to just the cusco RSB with stock endlinks. maybe i'll try using the stiffer settings, but is the difference really that obvious? or am I just not driving hard enough.

i really did not notice a huge difference when i got my solid endlinks put on either, but they are supposedly alot stiffer than the crummy stock ones...

You'll notice it most through hard transitions from side to side. it's doesn't make a huge difference when you just drive into a normal corner. But when you jam through a swerve you'll feel the rear planted right away instead the little floating time in between where the rear end fells like it lifts.

I broke the old whiteline rear links... that's how much force they get... Now I'm back to stockers for a little longer and I can tell the difference in the twisties.

Hey Ash, Please let Whiteline know about your endlink breakage. If you have your receipt they will give you either a new set of steel endlinks or a discount towards the purchase of the new aluminum ones.

I bought them from vividracing.com... after I put the stockers back in I welded it back together, I haven't put it back in though... I wasn't sure if it would hold. I think I'll call whiteline tomorrow and ask'em. I dont expect much though cause I dont have a receipt and I welded it. I'll let you all know. I have alot of WL parts on my car for sure though.

They should be pretty cool about it. Can I assume the endlink you have has/had a welded loop around the bushing? If so, those were unfortunately the bad batch. Whiteline have been very cooperative with those who have broken the endlinks, even without a receipt. don't bother going through Vivid, they won't help. Email Whiteline directly for the best results. If you have any problems contact me offlist.
