The stock end links work for some, and break on others..... get Grey's endlinks.

I really, really want to know how you guys are ripping the ball joints out of endlinks. I beat the **** out of my car, never snapped it with the 19mm bar, even with the stock springs, and now with a 22mm bar and they still hold strong.
I either have the worlds strongest stock endlinks, or I'm doing something in all the right ways.

Yeah man, definately go with Grey's end links. Many members here have said they work great and the guy really know what he's doing. I myself am getting those.

well you cant install them upside down, they fit one way, and it doesnt matter weather its right or left, the only thing i didnt like about grey's endlinks, is that they tend to rust

Go to the honda dealers part department after you reference this site for part numbers or print outs of the diagrams.

I'll admit that. They do rust a little... Although I need to check out the state that my new ones are in. I use different endlinks now with a different coating. I think it'll last longer that the older endlinks, but I don't know for sure yet. Besides the rusting (which can be cured with some paint before putting them on, or with some grease) they really are pretty good. I use them with my Progress sway bars actually... I'm constantly updating the design though, so I do realize that the rusting is a problem and I'm trying to get rid of it.

Yup, but that doesn't kill endlinks as much cause you will notice as soon as you lower the car back down off the jacks that the swaybar isn't sitting right.
I've got Grey's endlinks, they've got some surface rust. Of course not having thought to paint them before install, I just grease them every time I grease my sway bar bushings.
