It would be awesome if you post what sizes you use. Then other folks (me) could just order the parts from mcmaster-carr (http://www.mcmaster.com/).

why are you replacing the stockers? i ended up replacing mine with the perrin endlinks because i stripped the stockers changing my sway bar setting too many times.

just curious. wish i had thought to make my own to begin with. could have saved myself a good bit apperently.

I believe the stocker bind, and i think they are too weak...

which maybe led to the sway bar bracket breaking..

Actually one really good reason to get rid of the stockers especially if you have coilovers is so you can properly get corner weighted. When I got corner weighted we can only get so close cause he was fighting the sway bars. I would definetly build my own if you provide some information. Thanks!!

I finally had a chance to remove the endlinks and measure them. Here is a pic...
the red font shows 4.75" and the blue is the full length 7".


I also installed new brackets from ES with nipples to regrease the damn things..



stay tooned

u really only need one side to be adjustable. So if you get the stuff from whoever u really could get away with half as much and make one for the front and one for the rear....

Thank Donour for his info (part numbers) - if name brand is not an issue (at least this way, it's easier to replace the parts when they wear out).

Even better when they are coupled with these

sr20kid - make sure you flip and put the endlink retainers on the outside part (like the pics above) per IndyEvo. You'll need a small spacer though (like those bronze things in the pics) - let me know if you can't find one in your area and i'll send you (4) of them (went to Ace hardware, bought 2 - 1 inch bronze spacers w/ 3/8 inch inner diameter - then I just cut them with a dremel).
