    Looking for a new set of endlinks and considering these, they're simple, solid and reasonably priced.

    I'm thinking about getting the wagon combo of fronts and rears from Kartboy.

    Group buy maybe?

    i had kartboy on my WRX and was very happy with them... however, if i were to buy some today, i'd go with something different... right now i have my eyes on the perrin endlinks... their advantage over the kartboy is that they have spherical bearings that allow the swaybar connects to pivot some (look in the picture)... not sure if kartboy offers a similar product now or not

    As far as I know KB's are just solid rubber. My buddy down in Miami building a project car has a set of the perrins he's trying to sell me so perhaps Ill look into those. He just picked up a WorldOne & Prodrive sponsorship so he's off to bigger and better things it seems :)

    I have the KBs if you want to walk over and take a look...

    The rubber bushings on the KBs squish and move quite a bit when I'm only jacking up one wheel, so I know they squish a bit while cornering. The bearing design must have less flex, but we'd never know the difference. Both are far better than the joke they use stock...

    That design is nice with spherical bearing, however it needs some type seal to keep dirt out

    I like kartboys but they kind of sit funny without a spacer...at least from what I read

    I do believe they come with spacers now which are made of alumnium and about 1/4 thick

    important note : it was pointed out for the above pictures that "you want to move the washer on the other side of the spacer. the washers should be on each side of the black urethane part. that will keep it captured."

    I thought I told you? He pulled 2 of his vertabre out of whack so conversation has been limited. You're my first priority (behind my own wheels of course). What color did you want again?
