Endlinks: Turn In Concepts stocks the Kartboy brand endlinks. They are of extremely high quality, and the support offered by Kartboy and Turn In Concepts, your official Kartboy distributor, is second to none. Endlinks connect a component of the suspension to the anti-roll bar (aka swaybar). The purpose of the bar is to control body roll, and in the case of the front bar to control camber loss during a turn. In order for the anti-roll bar to be most effective it must be able to twist. Afterall, it is a torsion spring. Any slack or play in the system connecting the moving suspenion component to the bar or the bar to the chassis lessens the effectiveness. The stock endlinks lessen the effectiveness of the anti-roll bar by being flexible. The more they flex the less energy is transferred to the bar. The less energy that's transferred to the bar the less effective the performance. So, one of the first, most simple, most cost effective modifications you can do to your car to make it handle better is to buy the Kartboy brand endlinks from Turn In Concepts. There are WRX and RS rear "C" shaped endlinks available for $100 shipped in the US from Turn In Concepts at this link -> Turn In Concepts link to Kartboy WRX and RS rear endlinks There are STi rear endlinks available for $100 shipped in the US from Turn In Concepts at this link -> Turn In Concepts link to Kartboy STi rear endlinks There are Impreza Sedan front endlinks available for $100 shipped in the US from Turn In Concepts at this link - > Turn In Concepts link to Kartboy Sedan front endlinks.

Rear Anti-rollbar: Anti-rollbar, rollbar, anti-swaybar, swaybar - Technically all the same thing. Sure the ones missing the "anti" are misnomers, but it's becoming more accepted to refer to them with out the "anti." Afterall, think of all the electrons wasted just typing that over and over. Turn In Concepts carries, and stocks Whiteline brand anti-rollbars, rollbars, anti-swaybars, swaybars. Turn In Concepts is happy with the brand, happy with the support, and happy with the performance increases that Whiteline's bars provide. Turn In Concepts uses Whiteline bars exclusively on their own cars because Turn In Concepts puts performance before any useless or sub-performing crap. An anti-rollbar is simply another form of spring. It's just not coiled up like a slinky or the springs that go with your dampers. Instead an anti-rollbar gets its "springiness" by torsion (twisting). This force is applied from the suspension components that move (lateral links, control arms), through the endlinks (see above) to the bar. This twisting basically provides a force downward on the corner that is compressed or loaded through a turn. This downward force or resistance is what helps to lessen the body roll of the car in a turn. In the case of the rear bar this has the affect of allowing the rear of the car to rotate around a center point (apex of the turn) more easily as it resists weight transfer allowing the tires to "slide" out in the back. The weight will still transfer, but it will take longer, and the back of the car will not lean as much. Anti-rollbars come in two flavors, hollow and solid. Hollow bars are nice for the weight savings they provide, BUT they must also be larger to have the same effective "spring" as a solid bar. This starts to become a concern with larger bars due to the mounting capacity of the chassis mounts and just how big a bar they can accommodate. Additionally, we here at Turn In Concepts have yet to see a proper hollow bar. A proper hollow bar should be polished inside. Without that polishing the inside is rough, and at every rough spot stress is increased. This will eventually compromise the integrity of the bar. Additionally, many hollow bars are not made properly to seal against moisture. The inside of hollow bars can rust, and just like polishing, Turn In Concepts has yet to see a hollow bar with anti-rust treatment on the inside. This rust will create rough spots on the inside which just like the lack of polishing will compromise the integrity of the bar. Whiteline bars are solid. While they may weigh a little more than a hollow bar they will be just as stiff with a smaller diameter, and do not have the interior problems of a hollow bar. Turn In Concepts carries the Whiteline bars because of performance, longevity, support, and function. Do not discount the simplicity of this device when it comes to handling. Despite how easily it works an anti-rollbar will have a huge impact upon the handling of your car. Additionally, it is very important to use the correct size bar for your application. If you go too small the effect can be disappointing, but not overly dangerous. If you go too big though you can easily loose control of your car and cause some serious damage to yourself and others. If you need some guidance on what size bar to get then please contact Turn In Concepts for consultation.

Rear outrigger bushings:
Sometimes referred to as the doughnut bushings. These simple bushings will keep the outriggers, which are built into the forward portion of the rear subframe/diff carrier from moving up and down so much. This will improve feeling from the rear of the car, and keep things from being so noisey during hard acceleration. Turn In Concepts carries the Kartboy brand of outrigger bushings. These area available in both Comfort and Race versions. Price for either is $32 with shipping in the US included. To order the COMFORT version from Turn In Concepts click here. To order the RACE version from Turn In Concepts click here. Comfort version: Race version: Last edited by Turn in Concepts; 09-30-2007 at 05:59 PM. |

A quick bump....
A whole mess of Kartboy STi rear endlinks came in the other day. This is something you NEED to do on your STi if you're even thinking of picking up a stiffer rear bar. Price is $100 shipped in the US. To order your Kartboy STi rear endlinks from Turn In Concepts click here. Last edited by Turn in Concepts; 10-02-2007 at 12:03 AM. |

And now back to the front of the car...
Turn In Concepts fender cowl braces. Here's what they do, and why you need them: Tie the lower a-pillar to the forward upper frame member. Your car has some stock. The 2004 through 2006 guys get cheapy stamped steel ones from the factory. 2007 guys get beefier tubular ones. The stamped steel ones are junk. Absolute rubish! What happens is the forward upper frame member tends to flex under load. To clarify, the forward upper frame member can be seen by opening your hood. Take a look at where the fender bolts up. That's the frame member. It's big and beefy. It's welded to the a-pillar where the two of them meet. The front end, well, it's just hanging out there. This leaves the upper frame member too much leeway to flex. Now, take a look at what's attached to that upper frame member. You'll see that it's quite a bit of the front suspension mounting points. When that frame member flexes those suspension points go up and down. What you end up with is a spring. A springs that's undamped. Undamped means uncontrollable. It just oscillates away until it expels its energy. This is a bad thing. You need the suspension mounting points to be as rigid as possible. That way the suspension, which is damped and thus controlled, can do what it's supposed to do. And it can do it in a manner it's supposed to. Even with the factory stamped steel pieces the frame member flexes too much. Our fender cowl braces fix that problem. By being beefier than the stock braces it's more resistant to stretch and compression. This helps to keep the upper frame member from becoming a spring. The install: The install is pretty darn easy. YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE FENDER!! The price for the TiC fender cowl braces is only $95 shipped in the US, and many will tell you that's a heck of a deal for what they did for their cars.

We did get some of the superpro bushings for that location in, but they are gone (and never even made it onto the site). I need to get some more of those here. |
