Question Best endlinks

Hi guys, just a quick question with maybe not the quickest answer to, but what are the best endlinks out there. So many options, so which ones will hold up the best. I was about to get some SPL, but read some comments that they are good at first and then get just as bad as OEM.

Thanks Micael

+1 on the Powergrids from Z1. Whitelines are popular but I have no direct experience with them.

Be patient. One of our sponsors will soon be here with the best endlinks. Prices too low to mention.

My only guess is that the powergrids are sealed OEM-style ball joints so they opperate a little quieter and are maybe more durable in the snow-belt regions where road salt and such is used.
SPL makes awesome products, but they are often more track focused and only few people will pay for products like that.

I contacted Goodwin Racing who typically specializes in Mazdas and they make a set of good looking endlinks for the RX8 that look close to ours. I am working with them to get a set made, hopefully they can honor the same price of $95 per/axel and be a new vendor at our disposal.

Ive got both SPL endlinks up front and Powergrids in the rear. Long story short, get the powergrids, theyre completely silent. My SPL ones make noise when going over uneven surfaces
