Default Purchased an EM1 front sway and I broke an endlink!!

Sup all.
I got the complete set up from a guy aprting it out on craigslist for $85. When i was removing the sway from the car I broke an endlink. I saw the Blox replacements and i also saw the Blox adjustables.

Whats the difference in the two? If its not that big ill just buy oem



For all you searchers: Heres a list to do an EM1 sway bar install onto your EJ6.
-EM1 sway bar (26mm)
-EM1 LCA's (DX are 2 piece and EM1 have end link brackets)
-EM1 shock forks (DX are thinner)
-EM1 fork->LCA bolt & nut (DX are shorter)
-EM1 sway bar brackets (12mm bolt holes are pre-threaded on subframe)
-EM1/EK9 OEM/Blox rear/Hard race End links (EJ8, DC4, etc WILL NOT FIT)

I dont believe Blox makes FRONT swaybar endlinks...

In theory the blox spherical enlinks should fit but i wouldnt go that route. When one of my ball joints decided to pop out, i decided to get these:

Great price, great quality!

Either OEM or Energy. I have energy front endlinks and the only thing weird is they are a bit longer than stock, but other then that theyre fine.

Energy does not make endlinks for a 99-00 Si!

you rock.

I didnt read your post in time. I went to InlineFour (will NEVER go back), and the adjustable Blox endlinks were pretty short like the OEM's. So I picked them up even though it says for rear use only. Fitment was perfect!! I just had to shorten them a bit to match the OEM size. They were pretty stiff and looked much better than the OEM's since they were made of all metal. Those Hardrace ones look pretty sweet but the look like OEM's with Poly dust shields lol.

Do end links wear out? If they do I dont mind replacing my rears ones with some newer Hardrace or Blox end links.

Car handles 100x better now!! It feels like a whole different car since the front end doesn't dip forward anymore on harsh turns. It now under-steers, but a little bit of under-steer is a lot better than a lot of over-steer if you ask me!
