Default end links

well i was looking at the progressive rear sway and noticed it came with diff. end links. i thought that was coo but for me already owning the trd was wondering do end links improve some handling? and if so does anyone just sell end links for our car. would i be better off just tryin to get rid of the trd one and buying a progressive one? thanks for the input

Dezod sell endlinks for front and rear......I think it a good match with aftermarket swaybar it adjust to swaybar and make handling a little firmer...I think...

the dezod endlinks are stronger so they take more abuse than the stock ones which would sometimes bend when using some of the stronger/tighter sway bars such as progress and hotchkis..the end links are so much for handling as they are meant to handle the stress of the sway bars themselves

Dezod does not sell front end links anymore, they just sell the rear ones.

dezod just sells rear end links, hotchkis sells a set of front and rear.
the end links will not improve performance, the reason you would want aftermarket end links is because of the different stress levels from aftermarket sways. the stock end links can only take so much abuse, aftermarket end links are much more durable than the stock ones.

Last I checked Hotchkis doesn't sell any endlinks - though I'm assuming you're just referring to their sway bar set here.

It is also easier to install the bar if you have an adjustable end link... sometimes the angles of the endlink bolt don't fit incredibly well depending on which hole you're using - so you can just adjust it's length to get a better angle and connection.

It is kind of weird because i have heard about more dezod endlinks failing then oem, but that just could be because people dont post when the oems fail,

I think that was just the first couple batches of the rear endlinks..I believe they improved the design so it's stronger now

We sell rear endlinks only. The fronts have been discontinued for a while.

The adjustable rear endlinks allow you to accommodate for change in suspension geometry with ride height changes and sway bar changes as well. These endlinks allow for full adjust ability to also allow for a preload to be set on the bar as well.

Our newest version 2.3 endlinks are super rigid and work awesome.

You can install yourself if you understand suspension geometry, but if not, have a shop do it for you.
