Possible rear endlink upgrade?

Just "thinking out loud" or something like that...

The rear endlink on a 2008 ES/GTS looks like this.



This is a very similar design to the front endlinks on Subaru WRXs. Anyone have any guesses on whether or not we could use these? They're length-adjustable, so you could theoretically twist them 90' to match the stockers...

I don't believe there is much to upgrade here. The lancer's stock end-links are solid metal with no bushings, so you would just be replacing it with a fancy-looking piece.

Upgrading the end-links (aka. Stabalizer links) is a good idea when the vehicle is lowered, to keep the geometry near factory specs.

Some cars have a bushing design for the end-link, so replacing a rubber end-link with a urethane end-link would create a slight noticeable difference.

Wasn't aware that the stockers were made like that. I assumed that they had some give to them. Thanks!
