Improved version of Grey's endlinks now available! I improved my endlinks. They are now lighter, can accomodate more suspension travel, and consist of less parts. Them being lighter is good since it reduces sprung weight in the suspension. Then accomodating more suspension travel is good for people with extreme drops or raised rides (so... Airbags or coilovers set for higher than stock.). Them consisting of less parts is good too since there are less parts to break. Easier installation too! 
For those that don't know, endlinks connect your sway bar to your lower control arms. Many people have had their stock endlinks break (even with the stock sway bars). That's why people go out and buy aftermarket endlinks. Hotchkis makes a nice set for $150, but they don't sell them in pairs. I do. Mine also cost less and I believe that my latest design is superior to theirs.
More information about them is available in this thread: Grey's End Links: Improved Version Now Available! (ordering information is here too)
I installed them on my car up front and I've been riding with them for over 1,000 already. They're great! Although I can't feel a difference from my first design, they are theoretically better. I have plenty in stock and they're ready to ship.
Here's some pictures from that thread:
This is the old design. It weighs 9.2oz.
This is the new design. It weighs just 8oz.
Here's an up-close view of an endlink installed in the front.

Rep Power: 419 It depends on where the problem is. They're height-adjustable, but at their lowest setting they're slightly taller than stock (at least in the front). I'm not about the rear 'cause I don't have a stock rear sway bar, so I can't compare them to stock rear endlinks.

Yes sir I do. The prices for my endlinks shipped to Canada are listed within the thread with the purchasing information in it. Originally posted by Green Civic
What are they made of? How are they better than stock, like harder to break, etc?

Rep Power: 0 Still would like to find the attachment items to which these would attach onto the rear suspension for my 2004 Civic VP so I can install a rear roll bar for my coupe...any one have any ideas where such anchors could be found.

Rep Power: 419 Yeah, Progress makes a mounting kit. Check out my rear sway bar DIY (linked from my sig), it explains a little. I got mine from ptuning.com; back in the say they had the best price. I don't know who does now though?
Its a celebration bitches!

For the Grade-8 steel. These are probably 500% stronger than the stock endlinks. I just got mine in the mail today, only took 5 business days to get up here in Toronto. I must admit, they look damn strong and damn sexy. lol.

Rep Power: 419 I don't know how many times stronger they are than stock. I should calculate it and advertise it though. PM me if you have any questions, or just post in one of my threads.

Rep Power: 419 It's basically because the stock endlinks suck. They're too weak. Some people's endlinks break when they drive spiritedly. Some people's endlinks break when they upgrade to stiffer sway bars.

Rep Power: 419 They attach a sway bar to the lower control arm. They also articulate (have freedom of movement) in the direction that the sway bar will move with the suspension so that you don't get any binding.
