I have a set of Energy suspension "sway bar end links" and would like to know where they would be most effective? Front or back? I have the Eibach Pro Kit with KYB's and plan on using my car for auto cross thiss year. Any input is greatly appreaciated.

got any pics?

 

the front and back endlinks are different DESIGN. they wouldnt be interchangeable because the designs are totally different.

theyre probably just for the front. (they dont make em for the rear)

The links came with the energy suspension kit and doeasn't say weather it's for the front or back

 

theyre for the front. ES doesnt sell endlinks that would fit for the rear.

they probably look something LIKE this.

 

can you feel a difference with these? i have the full master kit minus those endlink bushings

 

Thanks for the info and will it make much of a difference or do I I have to upgrade the bar as well to notice a difference?

 

Anything you do like that (rubber to polyurethane endlink bushings) will increase the effectiveness of the sway bar. Whether you will feel a subtle difference like that will depend on you the driver. You should be able to get back to back comparisions at an autocross, it doesn't take that long to change the front endlinks and you probably won't even need to jack up the car to do it.

The only thing is, as Tyson mentioned, those are front endlinks. Most people who autocross these cars aren't looking to increase the front roll stiffness. If everything else is kept the same, you're increasing the tendency for front end push/understeer.
