Did you try contacting them? I know in the past they make their products in batches; there have been times where someone had to wait a month to order (due to backlog).
I'd contact them, and then PayPal. They should have sent you a confirmation email, even thru PP for tracking.

yep ive been contacting them...

lancer0220 Mar 22, 2012 06:56 AM

finally got a reply, going to be a few more days but all is well, they are refunding the shipping fee for the inconvenience.

Well 4/11/2012 and the endlinks arrived! over a month of waiting but from the looks and feel of these bad boys it was well worth it!

Thanks Racingline!

Update:
It's finally happened......I've blown out my front end links (despite using full soft to try and prevent this from happening).
Unfortunately no one seems to make a beefy front endlink; so I've had to order a stock type one made of (what I hope is) a slightly stronger material:

I'll let you know when it arrives, but to be honest these use the same type ball joint rather than a spherical joint, so I don't expect them to last :(

nunyas May 11, 2012 11:09 AM

so what's blowing them out? Is it because they aren't vertically and horizontally aligned anymore, there by adding a rotational force to the joints?

sstevojr May 11, 2012 01:52 PM

The front sway bar is 26mm (Whiteline) and the rear is 24mm (Whiteline), so the lateral force is considerably more than what the stock sway bar were. Eventually the spherical joints break inside the dust boot thingy (no longer, just free floating); so when I go over a bump it 'crunches' from sliding past each other (metal on metal grinding), rather than rotating.
Speaking of which, I need to re-tighten the rear endlinks, after a hand full of track days they bolts are starting to loosen up (backing out slightly). I still LOVE the Racing Line Rear Endlinks (Evo X Front's for those who may have forgotten), they have been superb for the amount of thrashing they have gone through. I just wish Racing Line would take the same rod end joints and make a longer shaft, so we can have a set for the front. A bigger sway bar in the front allows for a whole lot more turn in before the 'limits' are reached (when understeer occurs), allowing go-kart like attributes :)

Hey bro,
Whiteline also makes front endlinks for our cars. I don't know if they are any good but hey, they are made from whiteline so i assume that they should be good. =D

sstevojr May 11, 2012 03:56 PM

That website is wrong, those are about 12 inches too short.
Whiteline does list endlinks for our car, but they aren't "made" for our car; they are generic spherical joint endlinks with a shaft that need to be cut to size and screwed together.
I hate that website(Lancershop), they always miss-post info, here is what that PN is from Whiteline:

O okay, that's good to know. Thanks for the heads up. I was about to order those and test them out. =O

Keep us posted when u install ur new end links.

sstevojr May 11, 2012 10:17 PM

I 'think' I might have figured out a way to get some front endlinks made, same type of rod end joint and all :)
Should know by the end of the weekend yeah or nay.

ColdNapalm May 14, 2012 09:44 PM

So weekend over...whats the word on the front endlinks?

sstevojr May 15, 2012 02:39 PM

My replacements just got delivered last night (I was expecting them on Saturday, but that was a bit too optimistic for Customs). Sorry, I need to swap them out so I can get my stock ones for specs/measurements.

avasin Mar 18, 2013 10:24 AM

Just giving this a bump up revival from the dead. Wonedering what people use for an aftermarket endlink for the front sway bar?

deylag Mar 19, 2013 11:04 AM

If anyone wants to post up the dimensions for the front or rear end-links for the ralliart then I can put together a kit for adjustable endlinks with off the shelf parts.

I will accomplish this by using grade 8 bolts and better spherical bearings. I will need the length of the end link that needs to be replaced. I am not selling these just showing you how to make these yourself.
