SPL has the rear endlinks in stock . . . it's the front endlinks they don't have in stock.

From what I understand from this thread is the ones they currently offer are from the 300's. They are designing and in the manufacturing process of making them for the 350Z specifically. I would rather wait for the new ones.

To go one better than the competition, I have decided to design all new endlinks front and rear for the 350Z using the new series of QA1 high-misalignment rod ends, which are extremely strong and will allow for more angular misalignment than ball joints. I would say probably a Feb time frame for the new F&R endlinks.

yea i wish those rediculous comments where erased from this thread, i see no validity in that kids comments looking at spl products and sfarrahs ride, i see no reason why that kid was talking up a storm with no knowldge of a rebuttle that can make sense towards your products. Good luck and keep up the good work , mods should delete that kids posts.. He clearly has no idea of suspension considering grandam Zs use a similar setup aswell. Its beyond me what people say in peoples threads.

Sorry about the delays, due to the holidays most of our machining jobs got pushed back and I had to get some other items for the 240SX/300ZX made first due to backorders.

Prototype front endlinks going on sfarrah's Z for track testing this weekend. The endlink parts are all scheduled for production and should be done within 2 weeks, then another few days for plating. So looking to release endlinks end of the month.

Next up on production is a new low profile ball joint replacement for our front upper arms to address the knocking/suspension travel issue on cars lowered with relatively soft springs. This should be done very quick, 1-2 days. The rear mid links are up next and hopefully will have the first few from production by mid next month.

Thanks for the update, kuah. We just need an update from sfarrah after this weekend on how the new endlinks perform. I read somewhere in this forum that you guys are running at TWS this weekend. Too bad I can't hook up with you guys . . . I won't be at College Station until the following weekend.

Any plans to offer a lower front arm to properly relocate the roll center on the front suspension for lowered vehicles? I have seen something you made for Mike Kojima's Z32, looked pretty good.

Kuah,

Can we have a group buy for the front/rear endlink since we have such a huge demand here?

It was one of the first things we looked at, but unfortunately the design of the 350Z front and rear spindles do not allow for roll center adjustment through the arms.

???? Do you say this due to the split lower link?

It is a little difficult to explain in words, but if you look at the stock front lower arm and where it attaches to the spindle, you will see that it is not really possible to space the lower arm downwards to adjust roll center. If I had a picture on hand it would be alot easier to explain...
