it will go away, you will learn to ignore it... i personally think it is worth the money

Yeah, I noticed too and I don't have grey's endlinks.
You should ride in my 90 hatchback! Lowered on coilovers, Tokico shocks, front and rear strut bars. I have so many noises, rattles, creaks, it drives me nuts.

I've got gray's endlinks and i noticed an increase in squeaks, creaks, and other rattles. Then again i'm pretty sure that my shocks are leaking, which could add to the problem.... there are tradeoffs with a lot of things you can do to your car, some are bearable others will get old really quick.

Unlike the stock endlinks, which pack the ball and socket joint in grease and seal it in a rubber grommet, my endlinks are free to float around and do what they wish. I muffled the noise in version #1 with rubber o-rings near the ball and socket joints. This helped a little bit, but it didn't solve the problem 100%.
The stock endlinks are quiet, but they're also weaker and more flexible. People with the Hotchkis endlinks have been having the same problem. Noise.
I'm running my endlinks too, and I get some noise as well. I'm constantly improving the design though, and I'm currently working on something that will damped the vibration of the free-floating part.

Mine got really bad in the last week or so alone, any suggestions in bringing it back to the way it was when I first installed the endlinks and rsx-s sway? Im thinkin taking the endlinks off, cleaning everything, spraying some white grease on it then tighten it and throw it all back on. Is that the best approach?

Hmm... I think you have version #1, right? The ones with the o-rings. I made a version #2 because of that very problem. What happens is that they get dirty and you have to clean them and re-install them for everything to be tight. Dirt gets into the cracks and then it loosens everything up.
I might have a solution for you though. We'll talk at Import Wars, ok?
