Energy Suspension endlinks - 86-88 on a s5?

I have purchased a energy suspension master kit, and drive a 90 gxl. I was told this was the only kit available for the second gen and all parts numbers are the same for the 86-91. However upon opening the kit my endlink instructions say there for the 86-88 rx. Does anyone know if there are some for the s5's? or what i am supposed to do?

the S5 links are shitty plastic and are one unit. The S4 units have the bushing that are replaceble. If you want to upgrade to the S4 links, then you will need the S4 control arms, which are also an upgrade because of the replacable ball joints.
As far as I know, there are no replacements for the S5 links.

I have a set of S5 links if you are interested. P.M. me and we'll talk. BTW Dealer cost on them is like $90 each. I don't know any other company that makes them. BTW I do'nt want 90 each for them or anything like that.

HYPER-FLEX SYSTEM Complete Master Kit: constists of the following parts: Front & rear control arm bushings, front 24mm & rear 14 mm sway bar frame bushings bushings, ball joint and tie rod end boots.
Includes the 9-8134 endlinks, that will not fit the 89-91.

Well nothing is wrong with my endlinks. I was just replacing them since there old and obviously not as good.

Do the s4 control arm have any other benefits? other then i can use the energy suspension bushings in the endlinks, and that the replacable ball joings???

The replaceable balljoints are a huge reason to go with the S4 control arms! A ruptured balljoint grease boot resulted in buying a $400 control arm!
