    So my stock rear endlinks broke on my 05 STI with s-tech springs. I removed rear swaybar and ordered hotchkis bars front and rear along with cobb billet endlinks for rear. Go to install and realize that I have no bolts to attach my endlinks. Not thinking about the fact that the stock dogbone style endlinks didnt leave me with bolts.So what kind of bolts should I use? Anyone else ever come across this issue ? Any safe suggestions would be appreciated.

    I'm confused. Which might be because the WRX's setup is very different, but I believe the stock bolts would've worked for my new endlinks, provided the clearance was right.

    Wait. Now I remember. The stock endlinks have one removable bolt but the other isn't so you need one bolt for each link, correct?

    I hope you figured it out man. If not here's a bump so maybe someone else can pitch in.
