He already has 'sedan' endlinks. That's all I needed for the RB sway bar.

talk with ken@protegegarage:

I think new endlinks all around was ~100 dollars when I got them last year. When you install them, paint the bolt/nut part with a good undercoating spray or at least some flat black just so they don't rust/seize within a month.

pretty sure the 'sedan' and the MSP ones are different... I think they're shorter.

OK, well the bars I'm getting are the Racing Beat/MS set from the MSP. I just don't want to get the whole thing started if I need to grab some MSP endlinks beforehand.

If the stock ones are fine, I miht just keep them, and upgrade them later when they start to go.

There's only a 3% chance your current ones won't be seized. Have you gotten a yearly undercoating? That'll boost your chances to 50-80% depending on how well the place did it.

edit: also I don't have the front MSP bar so I can't comment. Talk with ken, he'll get you all sorted out and then take your money and leave you cold and alone with a baby on the way.

Bleh... not something I wanted to buy right now. Sway bars might have to sit in a box for a month or so...

That reminds me that I need to get a new undercoating done right after too!

get the undercoating done before you put on the bars, otherwise you won't see the fun colors under your car

the reason I just do localized undercoating on my own is that I don't want them covering all my shiny and rust-proof anyway bits :P

Ah, good point. I don't even know the last time it was done either, so I really need to get on it before winter comes rolling in.

the vibrant stb is nice in the sence if i have my family in the car on a road trip i simply lift the car adj the bar and the front end soffins up if i want to run thruogh the hills and pass in the corners i lift it and adj the other way and It will stiffin up the front end. witch helps hold more speed in the corners (less push) keep the engine wound up and pull all the way out i have done some simple tests to try and find movement in any of the joints but have not yet found any butt not yet been to a track day ether. all chassis where deffrint do to road and driving conditions there for unless you have your stb from factory the adj is nice to enshure it is riged where a miner diffrances can mean the the world
