Perrin or Whiteline Endlinks?

I am looking to replace my stock endlinks, and came accorss the Whiteline pieces the other day.

I have yet to see any reviews between the Perrin and Whiteline, so I was wondering if there was any user input on these.

Thanks

I had whiteline on the front and Perrin on the rear of my old Evo. Reason being, Perrin didn't make any for the front. But, when I got them and installed them, I really liked the Whitelines design better. They feel a little beefier. I can't say they're actually better, but if I were to buy endlinks again, I'd get the Whitelines.

Perrin's are still nice endlinks. Anything is better than stock. There is also a write-up somewhere on here on how to make your own endlinks for REALLY cheap.

I don't have their endlinks but I do have the Whiteline 24mm rear adjustable antisway bar and their Roll Correction Kit and love both of them.

Whiteline makes very nice suspension products. I ditched the Perrin end-links on my fiancee's WRX in favor of the Whiteline ones.

I wasnt aware Robispec made endlinks.
- When I was searching for info on endlinks on here, I read some posts of people having issues with the front whiteline endlinks. I guess they 'malfunctioned' on the first track day they were driven on.
I wonder how easy it is for dirt/debris to get on the spherical bearing and mess it up though?

Use Seals-it rod end boots, they protect the ball end from road grime and water. They can be used on any kit .

Neither. Make your own and throw some Seals-It boots on them... should be around $100-$150 for the whole set (depending on what rod ends you use) as opposed to $150ish for just a pair.

Whitlines come with little yellow boots. Perrin's don't have any boot at all.

I'm running the Perrin ones with my Robispec bar. Its great so far, feels pretty solid. I dont think you will have a problem with either, but it was faster for me to get the Perrin in, so thats why I bought it.

Guess I'll crash the party. I just put stock ones back in place of Whitelines on my rear sway bar. The Whitelines were junk after 1 year of service. The ***** were worn, and rusted. The bolts were also rusted and they made tons of noise. How do you guys figure the stock ones suck? What advantage is there by going with beefier end links? The reduction in body roll is primarily from the sway bar. I put the stockers back in and noticed absolutely no difference, other than the MUCH quieter ride.

*edit*, as others said, it's cheaper to build your own. chassisshop.com has Aurora end links at a good price.
