White line sway bar and end links

[Brichinelo]

After riding in the stinger as a daily I’m definitely looking for a bump in handling and a more firmer ride. I’ve seen a lot of members install the sway bars and have noticed significant improvement. My question is since I’m awd would it be best to do both front and rear or only rear. I know with my q50 which was awd I did only rear and that was all I needed. I also had endlinks installed to prevent binding with the bushings. Do the endlinks need to be paired with the front and rear sway bars or just sway bars and do I need both sway bars ? I was heAvily considering these white line sway bars and end links as a package . Thanks in advance .

Do both front and rear AWD or not - end links aren't mandatory, so you can skip them. Probably a good idea to install grease fittings if the bars don't come with them as some people have complained about noise from the bars (Eibachs are the only ones that come with them IIRC) Brand of bar doesn't seem to matter - everyone who does the upgrade loves them. Install is about 3hours, if you get quoted anything more than that keep looking.

Grease fittings gotcha. I’ll probably just do the end links as well to be on the safe side. Thanks.

End links are a must they will flex just be sure to zero them out with the car sitting on the ground.

So the endlinks do provide stability ?

They will flex so yes they help with stability and if you ever do lowering springs they're almost a must

I had my Swaybars fitted in 2018 & then the endlinks fitted in 2019 & noticed the improvement straight away so IMO yes the upgraded endlinks help firm up the stability of the car when cornering & really compliment the upgraded Swaybars.

My train of thought and logic but seeing as how many forum users just get the front and rear sway bars without the end links raised a question for me . Just ordered my white line sway bars and end links. First performance mod. Thanks for the clarification and user experience .

No problem, enjoy the upgrade when it’s done it makes it a complete GT & you won’t stop smiling.

I would recommend doing both the front and the rear with the endlinks. From my experience, customers have tried with or without endlinks and have explained that the ride is much better with the endlinks included. I would be happy to put a package discount together for you if you shoot me a message.

After sway bars you might consider sub frame bushings. For me that was the icing on the cake.
