BA Sway Bar End Links

project.r.racing · 16-02-2010, 10:15 PM

I found a rear one with a cracked rubber seal when swapping my coilovers. So time to replace them.

Just wondering what others have upgraded to? And is it really worth upgrading? The stock ones seem strong enough.

I have upgraded to the ones on my 3 with great results. It helps eliminate binding and lets the swaybar do it's job.

On the front swaybar (stock) I have Whiteline ones..... I have one word for them - RUBBISH! Don't get me wrong though as I noticed an improved cornering transition with these installed. Probably great for a race car, but absolute crap for a street car. Apart from being squeaky, they need to be tightened every 3 months.

I have ones from AWR (www.awrracing.com) on the rear with a stiffer swaybar and are fantastic and are super quiet 2 years later. I will be replacing the front with AWR's as well shortly.
