Racing Line Rear Endlink Install and Review
Yello,
So I've finally gotten off my lazy **** and installed these guys, been in my backseat for ummmm about 2 months
Reason I choose now to finally do this, is just this week I've now blown out my second set of stock size endlinks.
Here is a pic showing side by side:

OK I just got back from a drive (for food, but I took a detour 
)
IMHO if you upgrade your rear sway bar, these endlinks are a REQUIREMENT. The response from the back end is night and day different. Every other endlink upgrade I've ever done for prior vehicles necessitated a 2-3 days settling-in period; they would be quite noisy during that time period. But these spherical type endlinks are solid as they come, don't make a sound, and the grip DOES NOT give up. I'm really impressed with these, and as some of you might know I can be somewhat....critical at times (<--official review)

Yes, you need the EvoX FRONT end links for the RA REAR sway bar. They are fully adjustable for length (I chose to make mine extra long, bolt locked down at 4 threads) and the bolt is the correct size. If you are feeling uncertain, I would suggest emailing "sales@racinglineperformance.com".
Supposedly the Altima fronts will work for the RA, I can't comment on that. The reason I choose not try this is 2-fold:
1) I have had 0 issues with the front 24mm whiteline bar on soft (2-way adjustable)
2) Apparently the Altima front endlinks require some 'altering'; I seem to recall something about the bolt being too big, necessitating some sort of modification. That is WAY too risky for me.....

Most people only get the rear sway bar, but I got both as I prefer the driving characteristics (feels very tight/controlled, like 'driving on rails'; and most importantly, really got the body roll under control). Use the Racing Line Evo X front endlinks for the RA rear sway bar. As I stated above, I still have the stock front endlinks, as I have yet to find a direct replacement (and I also have had no issues with blowing out the front endlinks).

nice work mate - have just upgraded the rear sway bar, however after reading your posts, the endlinks sound like a good idea (and not to mention the front sway bar) cheers for the info
