Default Replacing My Endlinks. (SPL Endlinks)

Yeap... Replacing my endlinks thank to Colorado Springs famous potholes. I currently running the Hotchkis TVS kit (Springs & Sways). Was driving down the road at excessive speed. Went to past a car... BAM!!! Pothole. Heard something bounce off the undercarriage of the car and thought endlink. Sure enough when I got home and checked the passenger endlink nut was gone. So did some research and found some from SPL. Front & rear were $209 shipped. They look nice and beefy and adjustable! Don't have to streach them out like the OEM ones.

Front:


Rear:

Can you take pics when you get these? Im in need of some in the rear. After reading the thread about them somewhere on the forum it seems that some members are happy with these...

Thanks in advance...

As soon as I get them I will. Received a call from SPL and looks like they're not in stock.

be VERY careful with helm joints on the street. if your steets are in bad conditions i would not even use them. They have a very short life span and wear very fast. Be VERY CAREFUL On aircraft they have 1 year lifespan. some top quality helms will last 3 years MAX.

Stock ones are cheaper to replace than to buy 200 dollar ones. I already blew one out and it cost me 30 bucks, free labor.

Uh what's the point of it being beefy then if the helm joints aren't even gonna last....can kuah comment on this? I just got a set and the road condition in CA isn't exactly the best.

What year is your car and what year endlinks did they use? I rear somewhere that 06/07 are beefier than previous years but I didnt see any comparison pics...

There is a pic on here in a previous thread with a comparison picture of the 03-05 and 06 end links. They look exactly the same.

Just got off the phone with SPL. Looks like they should ship out mid next week. Excellant customer service to call and tell me about the delay.

Sorry guys but I canceled the order. Lifted the car today and notice it was just the 17mm nut that fell off. Maybe in the future.
