jproy12 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I was wondering, what is the best bang for the buck endlinks out there? I am looking at putting Hotchkis swaybars, front and rear, with a reinforcement bracket, and would like to get better endlinks! I see AVO, kartboy, perrin, etc? Which one is the best? AVO seems cheap? Thanks, I know it was maybe said a million times, but its hard to do a search from my blackberry... Thanks JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpmarky Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 whichever is on sale or is on the classifieds. I use AVO adjustable endlinks with no problems for my 22mm and 25mm perrin sway bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luchin Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Kartboy. End of story. Buy all your stuff from Mike at Infamous he's the best and goes waaaaaaaaay out of his way to make sure you are happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luchin Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I'm not sure what there was to figure out but the hotchiks bars, Kartboy endlinks, SB bushings, and control arm bushings are all on the car. The difference in handling is night and day. Had I known SBs made this much of a difference I would have done SBs in all of my cars. Unfortunately with the OB, the only manufacturer that makes end links for the rear that are long enough is AVO. So Mike will be exchanging my Kartboy end links for an AVO set. Like I said, waaaaay out of his way to make sure you are happy. Crazy you are if you go anywhere else to get your stuff. No Mike doesn't give me a dollar every time I send him business I'm just anal retentive about...well everything and Mike is by far the most pleasant experience I've had with any vendor, anywhere.

ssbtech Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The rear endlinks but I guess you got that figured out now. I think the effect of the sways is magnified on the Outback because of the height and the extra thin bars they install at the factory to keep it from being too stiff on rough roads. Heck, I think the factory Legacy bars are a bit stiffer. I think bushings are the next step for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I've NEVER had a car respond to sway bars like my OBXT did at stock height. I found that the rear KB's were plenty long enough. I never had an issue with them... then I lowered the car and it works perfectly. Next step for me is the LCA bushings and possibly a WL-ROCK.

ssbtech Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I'm thinking steering rack bushings as well as the LCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Oh yea, I forgot about those. Those are going in with the rest of the front end parts. Might as well do just one alignment.

jproy12 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Alright! Finally made the move to hotchkis swaybars from Infamous and a progress technology reinforcement bracket from FBP. I was wondering if I keep my stock endlinks for a bit if they will snap or break with the bigger hotchkis swaybars? I did get rhe progress reinforcement bracket, just not decided on endlinks. I'm doing a GB on MSI endlinks, but not much interest, so might be looking at different options, and kartboy seems like a good option. Any more inputs?

BAC5.2 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Go Kartboy for Endlinks. There is, literally, nothing to be gained by spending an extra $100 on the other links.

Scooby2.5 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I have Cobb sway bars on my 05 Outback XT with BC coilovers. I was running the AVO endlinks for a couple years but decided to try out the Kartboys. I put the Kartboys on today, and WOW my car is quiet as a mouse and it seemed to stiffen it up a bit more. Love it. I also put the spacers he sells in the front to keep the geometry good. Cant say enough about this product. I might add that when you get endlinks from Kartboy the fronts are 2.5in and the rears are 3.0in. My outback is pretty much even all the way around so I had him send me 3.0 inches front and rear and it worked perfect. If you purchase both front and rear at the same time they are 200 for the set.

jproy12 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 I finally got a set of MSI endlinks... Locolly as well, I have a friend that is running the MSI and not a problem there, I'll get him to install mine! JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagonation Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I'm curious about that setup too as I have been considering a WL RSB at least + KB links for my wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted December 6, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 6, 2012 I like my kartboys. They've been trouble free. When doing the rear sway you'll also want to add on the avo rear mount reinforcement brackets.

mustangendsley Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 MSI endlinks suck ass. I had them and went through bushings like crazy and im not the only one. I wasted a lot of money on MSI endlinks. Went to Kartboy and love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
