Racing Beat Sway Bar Endlinks on a S5?

Hi I'm in the middle of ordering the endlinks from Racing Beat for my S5 Rx7. I was told that they fit from people who have tried and other people said that they don't fit.
The Mazdatrix endlinks look identical and they fit both series.
If anyone is using the endlink on their S5 please tell me how the fitment of the front endlinks fits on their car.

From '86 to '88 end links ARE different then the '89 to '91. So, they will NOT fit. You can go to a local race shop and they can make them for you, just bring in your stock ones.

If you cannot find one, call K2RD. Paul should be able to hook you up......

The last time I was at Paul's shop, we looked into making a set. It is easy. He doesn't have any pre-made sets. You will have to send him your stock ones and he can make a set.

I'm buying them from Paul at K2rd and he mentioned to me that they will fit. But then again I was told they won't fit from Racing Beat.
How different are the stock S4 and S5 endlinks? It seemed like the Mazdatrix difference from the Racinb Beat endlink is a spacer which made them fit. Howver I'm not sure since I have not seen them in person before.

I just got a used set, with the S4 mounts on them. The S4 mounts won't attach to the S5 arms, but the only difference is the space between the mount for the end-link to fit into is slightly larger in the S5. I plan to put a couple large flat washers in for spacing, and I don't see how it would be any different than the fit on an S4. I'm currently waiting on new bushings from RB. The hardware to put them in may be a little different as well, longer bolts for the front mounts. Hopefully I'll have mine set up Sunday if they get hare Sat., or by Friday if they come Mon. Good luck with them!
