Actually, thats the racing beat endlink. The stock endlink is a plastic ball based endlink in s5s and tends to flex or break easily.

What year is your car?
I think only the Zenki FC ones can be replaced.
I think the Kouki FC ones are not replacable, and you need to buy the whole arm?

No, they're made for both, they're a lot stiffer and don't break.
The original equipment anti-sway bar links have an amazing amount of compliance in their rubber bushings. The 89-92 RX-7's still have compliance but are made of plastic, and we have already replaced some that were broken.
The increase in handling firmness and steering response is very noticeable when our bar links are installed, even when retaining the original anti-sway bars. The adjustable links also allow setting the bars to "zero pre-load" with the weight of whichever person is normally driving the car.

my car is a 1990, i have stock brackets off a s4 87 and the s4s have two hole that they screw into on the control, and the s5's have only one. and im not talking about the end links. just the bracket that they connect to on the control arm. they just broke apart after about a couple of weeks when i installed my new racing beat end links. the bracket is very thin and i think the endlinks were so tight and everything was so stiff, it just broke both of them right off and my end links are just hanging there. i didnt even kno it happen till one day i was driving on the highway and my car was ALL OVER the road like you wouldnt believe. got home and looked under there and saw both sides hanging. weird. but if imma fix it i want thicker ones. cause i kno it will do it again. i heard suspension techniques gives you these brackets when you buy a whole sway bar kit. i gotta call them monday and ask if i can buy em separtely

If you cant get them, go to a local HVAC shop and pay one of the guys to fab you one out of 1/8" steel it is just two bends and 2 holes shouldnt cost more than $50
