Default So I snapped an endlink, found some that are beefier to replace them with.

So I took my car for a spin a few days ago and it didn't feel "right", went back home and lifted it up to check everything and I found a busted endlink. Thanks to so cal pot-holed roads.

I search around and I didn't want to get new ones from the dealer. I saw some oem replacements on ebay but they didn't look much different from stock. I came across some Blox Racing endlinks which were beefier and the price was great so I went ahead and bought a set from "whoisdan" and 2 days later I have them here @ my front door.

I'm running a comptech reinforcement tie bar with a 22mm ITR rear sway. But the box does show that this style endlink works for eg/dc/ek/em and other cars too.


Also noticed larger hardware on the new endlinks.

15 minutes later I was on my way, I would recommend thse endlinks to anyone who needs to replace one/two.

Thanks for your orders!

Endlinks were shipped today if I recevied payment before Fed Ex arrived.

Payments received after 3:00 - 4:00p.m. will be shipped first thing tomorrow afternoon with tracking info.

BTW: New BLOX Endlinks will be released once the bolts come in. I'll get pictures as soon as they come in. Prices are still in question.

tONE.steR also puts these endlinks under serious stress, at least 50 miles a day on the crappiest roads in the United States, Los Angeles County.

Don't forget BLOX endlinks are also under warranty.

Why not just buy the original Function7 endlinks? More justification that Function7 is making the right choices for products, everyone is now copying them!

I have to disagree. Ours looks like this:


Blox endlinks (gold ones below) look much closer to OEM endlinks than ours.


We use standard teflon lined universal spherical rod-ends and high strength bolts for our kits, not a custom-made piece.

Just incase you missed it.

Its nice that you come in here and thread jack and ***** your **** all over.

This thread was about BLOX endlinks and my experience with them.

No where did I mention F7, nor did I say that its the better one of the two. I don't care if its a joke or not but I see you in every aluminum LCA post and now my endlink post which is pretty annoying. I don't see how the mods don't say anything to you about whoring your stuff everywhere but I don't appreciate it in my thread.

To make it clear - <FONT SIZE="5">I PREFER <FONT COLOR="red"><u>BLOX</u></FONT> OVER</FONT> <FONT COLOR="pink">function7</FONT> <FONT SIZE="5">ANY DAY</FONT>

Thanks.

O yea for those who want spherical endlinks, I would stick with BLOX too.

I'm on the waiting list for a set as we speak.
