Dariusz,
Do you have the adjustable rear end links for a WRX Wagon 2002? I'm looking to replace some older Kartboy endlinks with the full spherical bearing and eliminate preloading since my car is corner weighted. Also, I need them by this weekend for autox... Let me know and I'll paypal you ASAP. John |

BSLICKOH,
End links for the WRX wagon are the red ones; it looks like I need to update this page soon. The rear adjustable links are slightly shorter (about 1/2 in.) than the stock links even if set to the longest setting. Regarding the Cobb's tubular sway bars, it seems that some had rubbing issues with other brands of end links. At this point I cannot confirm that they will fit since I do not know if any one tried our links on such sway bar. If you are interested, I can include longer spacers between the bar and the links that will provide you more clearance in case the regular spacers are too short for this application. Other thing about the links with spherical bearings is that you can tilt the body of the link away from the sway bar without affecting links performance. N.V.H. will be more noticeable with larger sway-bars but still only fraction of what you would experience with performance tires, springs or sway bar itself. Scott, I am glad the links helped, keep us posted. Nice car BTW. 04 silver bullet, End-links with spherical bearings give you most benefits with larger sway bars. Bushings will deform as opposed to bearings that will always keep the effective length of the end links the same and the effective rate of the bar that is not reduced by the bushings flexing - no more delayed response. Please red above for the issues regarding the end links rubbing on the tubular sway bars, if you mention your bar during ordering I will include the longer spacers for you as well. The non-adjustable links with spherical bearings are $97.00 shipped. You can place the order on our website using PayPal, or you can send us a check or MO. JohnW We have those link in stock and ready for shipment, give me a call if you need express delivery. Thanks Dariusz PolTec Inc 708/308-0947 |

Hi Dariusz,
Are you still looking for test fitters for the STi 6 piece "pink box" replacement? Or maybe they've been released? Either way I'd like to partake in the fun please! I just installed the STi 6 piece and I'm afraid my little pink boxes will break.... I have a Cusco rear sway and it's only a matter of time Let me know if we can set something up -Matt |

I don't know if I posted feedback or not but if not, I'd like to vouch for the endlinks. I got the solid nonadjustables with both bearing mounts. The car is definitely more responsive than before. I'd recommend these to anyone. A++

Great product, I installed my spherical rear links today. Even came w/ new bolts and nylock nuts. I just had one question regarding the spherical links... After all was said and done with installing and torquing, the endlinks still have a bit of "play" on them. If I grab them, I can jiggle them back and forth and if i jiggle all the way to the left on the passenger side, the link clangs against the rear sway bar - the driver side moves a bit also but manages not to hit against the bar (BTW i installed a Helix 22mm adjustable bar also).. Is this normal?? I centered the links and took a drove around and checked again and they really didn't move so I am not too concerned they will hit the bar but there is always a possibility. Should I be worried for the long run? Or can I get away with tilting them away from the bar as you have said before? Thanks.

Dariusz
Would your bearings provide a more, um, "indipendant", response form each strut compared to a bushing-type bearing? What I mean by this is that with a heavier sway bar the suspension is more "linked" together, causing less free motion from each corner as the sway bar affects both ends. This is why it's a good idea to disconnect your swaybar links if going off road. This is the downside of having a big bar: the car is less planted on a very bumpy turn. But would these links provide any positive affects in this regard? Sorry for being long-winded. Mark |

Mark,
As compared with the end links with urethane/rubber bushings, our end links with spherical bearings will raise your sway bar's effective diameter, allow the sway bar to transfer more force to the other side and, as a result, make both sides LESS independent for a given sway bar diameter. That is because they do not absorb any of the sway bars movement and transfer it all to your suspension. I hope that answers your question. If you would stilllike to discuss it, give me a call at the number below. Dariusz PolTec Inc 708/308-0947 P.S. Your order will shipp tomorrow. |

Dariusz, just an FYI. the extra hardware supplied with the collars (longer/shorter hex bolts) were the wrong thread size. That and some of the hardware was SAE (Hex bolts) and some Metric. (personally, i don't own any SAE tools )
