since no one else has put anything up..
i ordered some and installed them, they fit up great. i also replaced my rear top mounts (they didnt look too bad tho) and the rear end quieted up completey; got rid of the clunking noise.
didn't adjust them, they came at the same length as stock so i just left them there.
so, how about some fronts?

The endlinks were 75 here
The top mounts were KYB and around 90 for the pair at Advance Auto Parts (website part # SM5087)

ill be doing a full suspension revision and am collecting parts these endlinks front and rear would be first on my list. Put in the word that if they could get a set for the front ill buy them as well as a set for the rear.
when i talked to them the ST185 fronts should work fine with the AT200/ST20X
I have already ordered and gotten a full set of st185 links. We'll see about how they fit .. i don't think we'll have any problems. Btw, they look REALLY sweat!

on their site its said that they only have the rear links how did u get the fronts. I am confident that the st185 fronts will also work for us as they look to be the exact same length
im going to buy mine this week

they have offered the fronts for awhile

You're right .. but no one knew for sure (100%) if they'd work since they have not been tried out.

so what are you waiting for since you have them mr. baller
just a quick question about the rear links, i just bought myself two sets (i thought putting 2 in the qty field would give me 2 links, not two pairs).. anyway, it seems that they can be adjusted.
would making them shorter make cornering a little stiffer and improve balance?

I think it might buyt don't quote me...I also think it would were out the bushing back there much quicker.
and if you want to get rid of one of those sets, I would be happy to take them off your hands

bah.. my bushings are probably already done for. i hear clunks nearly every little bump.. one of these days, i'll have it all fixed..
in regards to the extra set of rear links, i was gonna wait and make a huge FS thread with all my spares, but i can let it go early. they're still in the bubble envelope and never touched.

i highly doubt making them shorter will change anything.
Ok so I'm just guessing but I would think that changing the size wouldn't be the best idea since we're all trying to see if our OEMs are the same size so that they'll fit? What's the point of making sure they're the same size if you can just get any old size and use it?

well the sway bar rotates up and down so you can make it longer or shorter and it could still very well fit....the performance of the sway bar is really a twisting motion as i see it (could be wrong)
but to gain any performance outta it the mounting point of the endlink has to be moved either farther in (stiffer) on the sway bar or farther out (softer)
up and down = not so much effect

You are correct sir, twisting is what our sways do which is why we get thicker ones to help reduce the amount they bend. So the only thing I can think of to modify performance would be to make one endlink shorter so that the bar is somewhat bent and then you would have a little stiffer turning when trying to bend it more? or the other way? I think my logic might be a bit off, I've been working too long. lol. I'm gonna shut up now.

i don't think you would want to offset the endlinks in length as the sway bar is designed to be level at normal ride..."preloading" it could cause adverse effects and potential tire wear possibly?
is there any noticeable change in the aftermarket ones? or is it just like the if your gonna lower your car you mid as well throw these in and do it right type deal.
maybe if you get aftermarket sway bars, you may as well change the links for these aftermarket ones while you're at it. these are so easy to install and remove.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well im going to be lowering my car soon and i was thinking about buying these, but i dont really wanna just throw away 150$ bucks if i wont notice anything at all, but im pretty sure just by looking at them that it would show minor improvements in overall suspension feel.
actually i haven't felt any noticeable difference.. i bought these links thinking that my old ones were the cause of my rear clunking all the time.. i guess i need new suspension arms.
btw, i don't think these endlinks create a noticeable increase in handling and stability.. as previously mentioned, they're just aftermarket OEM replacements. imo, you're better off putting that money for strut/sway bars if you're looking to stiffen your suspension.

if you're getting clunking when going over any bumps (like something is knocking around back there) then it's more than likely the sway bar bushings, about $6 each from the dealer.
