Default Anyone tried the CZP endlinks?

They're about 1/2 the price of the other brands, but do they fit well, and are they built to last? These are a non-sealed type, which worries me a bit. FWIW, I'm looking for endlinks to work with Hotchkis bars on my '08.

Just installed my swaybars and I'm expecting my oem endlinks to break anytime soon.
I've been looking at these myself.

Standing by for feedbacks...

Yep, that's Jason. He's a close personal friend of mine, but that's not why I plugged his site. He is an engineer and knows his stuff. He not only knows how to make his own parts or even improve on existing components, but he also knows which parts do what and why. His parts are usually better quality than most on the market for a fraction of the cost.

He is more a fan of drifting than autoX now. However, he doesn't put parts together with just one thing in mind. You can't go wrong with stuff from Jason.

Jason is def an awesome source for the Endlinks, I call him personally to talk engineer to engineer. I found a source for endlink rubber boots to seal off heim joints FWIW. On my cell know so can't provide a link.

I'm personally running his lock out bolts.

I'm not sure it's just a question of added boots to the existing joints - remember, they need to be sealed on both sides. And, the sealed-type joints I've seen are just designed with a seal in place, it's not just an add-on.

I don't know what to do here. I want to install the front and rear at the same time, and I don't want to be the guinea pig for the CZP links if no one else has ever tried and used them for a while. So, unless Coz wants to offer me a set to evaluate for the group, I think I'm just going to grab a set of Pwergrid's this week.

I personally am running power grid Endlinks. No sealing required.

I see you also have the Hotchkis bars - any issues with the Powergrid links?

Not at all. So far I'm extremely happy with my suspension path so far.

I've got tein s tech springs waiting to go in, waiting a bit to buy the koni sports dampers.

I'll just chime in here..
I have an 08 and the stock end links look pretty damn good to me...don't know if they were updated at some point, but I suspect they were. Anyway...I have a big a$$ Top Speed(AKA Cusco) bar set on full hard and the stock links are holding up very well. The angle of links to bar is still minimal...so that's a good thing. Having said this...if some bars have a chit load of holes that require a radical link angle, then the heim joint/adjustables seem to be a plus here.

^That's exactly why the adjustable endlinks are so good. My front Hotchkis bars have 4 holes. I haven't check the endlinks at all 4 settings, but I know when I installed Jason's enlinks last week my stocks were angled pretty bad.


Quick Reply: Anyone tried the CZP endlinks?
