Hm... Good info bro! Ill look under car tomorrow to check for the front bar install

No clunking so far, but I've only had them in for a week.

Just got back from my first autox with the new set up and all I can say is it's amazing. I'm running Whiteline front and rear sways both set at medium on Eibach prokit. This setup has just enough understeer to keep you out of trouble, but not enough to make the car push. The car rotates nicely when you want it to, and body roll is nonexistent. This car handles so well now. I'm impressed.

No damage to the endlinks yet.

No clunking so far, but it does squeak, but that's probably more my fault than it (I should wrap it with teflon.)

Im also thinking about upgrading the RSB and endlinks. But I have also herd about road noises coming from the Whiteline. Is this an installation error or is it the RSB? Does anyone have any tips to avoid any noise from the upgrade? and alos if theres any recommended order when upgrading? ie RSB before endlinks? Rear before Front?

I would say it's installation error....swaybars should not squeak or clunk if installed correctly. Teflon tape helps, but even with just proper lube you should be fine.

Looking for some feedback, how are stock endlinks holding up w/ RSB and racing?

Thank you!

For what it's worth I read from AMS that the evo X can have bumpsteer issues, and that the front end links are part of the puzzle to fix that, along with bumpsteer correction link kit as well.

I can't seem to find the article, but mayebe someone else can enlighten us on whats useful for the x in the front suspension area....

p.s.
thanks for the info guys, i got my swaybars installed last year and have been thinking about end links for a while since i track my car once a month
