My rex handles great in the driveway too

 

Try S-Squared Motorsports in Rancho Cordova or MPJ Performance in Hayward.

 

do these solid end links REALLY keep the car flat through corners? i was watching some in-car-film of my last track event and was shocked at how much body roll the stock setup allows. will endlinks with stock struts really make the ride "stiffer" in the corners? how about controlling nosedive under braking? does it SLOW OR RESTRICT the rebound of the outside wheel?
i am no expert on suspension tuning, but it seems unlikely that SOA would "detune" a swaybar by putting soft endlinks - is it a longjevity issue? why didnt they just put solid endlinks and a lighter bar to net the same result??

Endlinks enhance the effect of the sway bar you have. Adding a 20mm swaybar with endlinks is more effective than adding the sway bar without endlinks. So, is an 18mm sway bar with solid endlinks better than a 20mm sway bar with stock links? Well, that depends a lot more on your car and driving style. The short answer is, the larger bar has a greater overall effect, but adding links with teh sway bar provides an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

 

I personally don't think there is much difference between the spherical bearing type (Perrins) and the others using urethane. I do know that unlubricated spherical bearings will wear themselves out from the metal-to-metal contact. For me personally, I just don't thnk they are worth the extra money they cost up front. If you already had them, then I wouldn't worry about it. They perform just as well, and without hard use, the bearings will probably last a couple years before the noise gets to be too much. The only thing that might be unwise about your RSB setup is that 22mm+ bars have a habit of breaking mounts. If you don't already have some heavy duty mounts, go ahead and grab some. This is assuming you have enough experience to handle a car with some oversteer character. For a new driver I wouldn't recommend that much just yet.
