They're $13.50, just buy another one. It could have been a variety of things. The sway bar alone didn't do it, and the coilovers probably don't play into it at all. If you load the car in such a way that the ball joint runs out of travel, it'll snap it off.

Mine broke when someone hit me from behind. I'm using stock now but if they break I'll just get grey's new endlinks.

Well there are stock endlinks and there are grey's custom ones that can take a beating and still hold up. You only use the rsx-s sway bar, not its endlinks.

The RSX endlinks are the same part with an Acura part number. I think the front ones are a tad shorter, but I'm not completely sure. Either way, I've never broken a stock one, with a 22mm bar and more than enough track abuse that if it was gonna go, it would have gone by now.

Grey endlinks aren't as quiet as the stock ones. They definately are more flexible.

Its not 4.95 shipping, its 4.95 handling + fedex. Unless you buy a lot from them, its cheaper to go to the dealer.

Thats kinda of the reason why I didnt install my RSX swaybar. After putting it on the stockend links were angled at theyre most extreme travel. Didnt look good to me.

one of my brackets just broke, is that what all of you are talking about? my friend told me that i cant just bolt back on the bracket back on because it is bent. and the bolt itself is gone too since i guess it popped off when the bracket broke off. is this common? and will it be hard for me to find another bolt? thats they thing i'm worried about the most.
