Perrin Sway Bar and endlink compare to Cusco and Whiteline

Any one has feed back between these 3 vendors or how do they compare?

Which one would you get?

thanks

I'm trying to figure out which endlinks to buy as well.
As far as the Whiteline endlinks go, I have heard of some of them breaking under extreme stress (i.e. auto-x). You can sort of get that idea by looking at them compared with Kartboys or Perrins or MRTs. They are half the price though...
As far as the swaybars, the only issues I have heard with Whiteline are difficulties keeping the bushings greased so that you don't get clunking noises from the swaybar. The Cusco swaybars are lubricated differently (and apparently more effectively). I haven't heard anything about the Perrin bars.
This is just what I have read - I am still shopping myself.

In respect to the sways: I think that the whiteline and cusco are lubricated the same. Both squish out the grease. Perrin has channels that hold the grease AND come with burly sway bar mounts. Just hold these things up next to the stock ones and you will see how flimsy the stockers are.

Perrin all the way. I have had mine installed for a few months now and no complaints.

I second the motion to get the Perrin goods. With their 22mm rear sway bar and links the car is completely different (plus Cusco camber plates up front, but that's another story) and I have no noises whatsoever -- this, in spite of two 2-day track weekends and many street miles.

I haven't personally tried the Cusco or Whiteline pieces, but I for one am more than satisfies with the Perrin goods.

I heard that the perrin endlinks "knock" against the bracket thingy on the trailing arm under hard cornering...

I have been trying to decide between the Perrin or Cusco rear swaybars for my car. I noticed that the mounting holes for the endlinks on the Perrin are under the swaybar versus at the end of the bar. Are there any advantages or disadvatages of this?
