Default Any benefits in using urethane endlinks for the ITR Swaybars on my '92 VX?

I have a '92 VX with JDM ITR springs, shocks, and LCAs installed at all four corners and I also have the USDM ITR Front (25mm) and Rear (22 mm) Swaybars sitting in my garage waiting to be installed.
Before I install the swaybars (using the Beaks and Prothane mounting kits for the rear bar), I wanted to know whether or not there are any benefits in using urethane endlinks?
If there are, does anyone know where I could get some?
TIA

Well I'd say you need to be looking to beef up your sub frame before that beffy bar rips it apart. A rear 22mm bar is very thick and could do some major damage if your don't use larger reinforcement plates.

It'll make the bar a bitt stiffer, as the stock rubber stacks are more flexible than the upgraded polyurethane. Probably not a big difference though.

Civic242: About the subframe being ripped; I am aware of this problem and that is why I will use both the Beaks and the Prothane mounting hardware for the rear bar.

Anyone know where I can get these endlinks?
