Question Opinion on swaybar endlink???

So before posting this I did a quick search to see if anyone had asked this question before and could not come up with any post.

Here is my question....I have my 87 Fc and would like know if anyone had input on which adjustable swaybar endlinks I should go with.

Either the Racingbeat endlinks or the ones from Mazdatrix or any other ones that people would recommend..

Thanks

Mazdatrix-roughly $66.80 per pair


RacingBeat-Roughly $75 per pair

Is your car lowered?

if yes, depends on how low, you might need one

if stock height, forget it.

it will be lowered on max coilovers just waitin on the response from the company about a question I asked them. probably close to 2"...

I have:
ST front and rear sway bars
AWR rear spherical Bearings
SuperPro front bushings
Battle Version toe arms
Battle Version Rear Camber Arm
Planning on Max Competition Coilovers (I need to figure out if they do indeed have the front adjustable plate)

Racing Beat. They're worth the extra $8.

racing beats are urethane and mazdatrix are bearings.... mazdatrix are also easy to find off the shelf replacement parts if one of the bearings dies (they're standard rod ends)

the poly of the RB links will deform and make your sway bars not work as well.

I (and everyone else I know that seriously races their car) run the mazdatrix links on my autocross car and they work fine.

Hey thanks for bringing that to my attention. I was not even thinking about how poly would warp. Being that I'm running spherical bearings I decided to change my initial set up and go with the mazdatrix ones. Thankfully I was able to cancel my order from RacingBeat without problem because they called and said they were not going to be ready for over 2 weeks

Even if you can't cancel the racing beat ones, those would come in handy if you wanted to switch, or sell them off.

I have the racing beat ones paired with tanabe sway bars, and the car drives awesome.

Yea if I don't like the mazdatrix ones I can always get the RacingBeat ones. There must be a reason they are out of stock right? Lol

I will man. I actually have two set-ups I am going with...

1st set-up I have is for the subframe--I have MMR rear spherical bearings (these have the snapring and are just meant to be pressed in--they are actually only $160 way less than AWR's
2nd set-up I have for the subframe--I have AWR spherical bearings (these I still need to tack weld them to the subframe and cost $230.xx after shipping...If I could I would prefer to just push them in like the MMR's)

Not sure if I will buy the RacingBeat end links yet, but If I do I will test each out and let you know....
