Default What end links to use w/ Function7 LCA's

Hey there fellow Honda-Techers......

A buddy of mine is running Function 7 LCA's with CTR Sway bar setup on his EM1. He's wondering what endlinks will work with this setup.


Thanks guys!

The stock ones don't work, the F7 LCA's are too beefy..

You are correct.

I too run a CTR Sway + ASR + F7 LCA combo. However OEM EK9 endlinks cannot be used as bolt is not right size.

I had to use F7 spherical endlinks however i now find it too noisy for daily (as expected). Can you suggest which endlinks do fit F7 LCA + EK9 Sway on EK besides F7?

Only 2 other company that come to mind are: Hardrace and Blox

Anyone tried if those endlinks fit this setup?

Apologies for bumping an old thread. I will put an intro soon as i am a noob here.

Thanks in advance.

So what else people tried besides BLOX? Anyone using Hardrace (non spherical)? more suited for daily.

i called passwordjdm.com and talked to em for a bit.
Blox makes fantastic products apparently and the broken endlink may have just been a fluke.

Hi Finnish Racer,

Do you have a link or model number for the Blox endlink product you are using with your Function7 LCA? I am interested to see this as OEM replacement (rather then noisy spherical)

Thanks

I will have to stick with F7 endlinks until i find a suitable substitute that performs like OEM (not noisy)

I read on here that people were having the same probably with F7 end links as they do with BLOX. They are made by the same people, just packaged differently. I went with the BLOX after hearing that.

Yup, I did. Why would I pay $70 for the same blox end link repackaged and sold from F7 when I could buy the exact same thing for cheaper?

I am having a pretty hard time understanding this. What are you trying to say? Blox is better?



Blox endlinks suck

You didn't pay less for the same exact thing. You paid less, for a lower quality peice, that isn't going to last nearly as long. Yes, these endlinks will never last a really long time, but there are people who have years on the F7 endlinks. Where mine didn't make it a year.

The quality difference should be cristal clear, howver some i guess will just stick to buying low quality parts. My blox endlinks cost $36, F7 $49, spend the extra couple bucks and get the better part!
