Default HardRace sway bar end links

Anyone ever try the HardRace sway bar end links for the DC2 front sway bar? OEM ones would be around $90 shipped for both sides with new bushings, while the HR ones are only $50.

this hardrace stuff has me confused honestly and here's why







and if you look the HardRace control arms look identical to Megan. Not saying they suck but something tells me they are the same.


And, if you wanna go OE style, go Moog, better than OE IMO plus lifetime warranty on the parts.

eh not like I'd be using any of that camber kit junk anyway. But yeah I believe the HR trailing arm bushings look very similar or identical to the Megan RTA bushings. Oh well.

Also didn't see where Moog makes or carries any sway bar end links, at least not the OE-style with ball joint on one end.

(no thread jack intended) i to have been on the hunt for a quality end link for my gsr also... nothing to impressive so far.... i've thinking about a ls sway bar cause the end links are the old style with bushings and spacer held by a bolt and nut(looking at the online acura parts sites)... im a bit a noob on suspension so, is there a benefit to using the ball socket type found on the gsr/typeR's ????

not sure on that... seems like the "old" style would be stronger than the ball joint style.
