Anyone know where I can get custom rear sway bar endlinks made?? OEM ones went to crap after using aftermarket sway bar and I dont want to replace it with oem cus its just gonna crap out again. Billy on this forum made some before but I guess he doesnt anymore. Any suggestions?

You can pm 71dsp (he still browses these forums I think) or go to ntpog.

He probably makes the best endlinks available for 5th gens. Be forewarned they are ~$300 +

71DSP = Billy?

I'm looking for the same as well, he was saying he might make another batch during december.

yea 71dsp is billy on this forum, i hope he makes a batch in december. and damn $300+ for the endlinks?

^got to pay to play. You could certainly make some yourself (search these forums) but with his hardware, you couldn't get any cheaper.

I had a set made for my 4th gen but I never got around to get the fittings right (4th gen endlinks are different).

What Sway bar do you have?

I have Progress one, OEM end links at the middle position. OEM links work just fine for several years already. I checked them recently.

But I'm thinking about changing sway bar to the stiffest setting and wonder what exactly would happen to OEM links in this case?

Someone mentioned they might brake, although, I do not remember anybody who had them actually broken. Your situation sound like some sort of wear.

Just wanted to understand the consequences better before I switch.

^I've heard of them bending rather than breaking (esp with the progress bar)

Yes, exactly, that was bending instead of breaking.

But just curious what happened with topic starter's end links and what kind of the bar was that...

I'd like to go stiffer as I have a feeling the sway bar got slightly softer with time. But maybe I'm wrong.

So far with mine I had a problem with brackets breaking (2 times). I figured that was production defect and fixed one myself.

Ive slapped together a set of endlinks for cheap. they clunk like MAD but they do NOT bend. I Solo the car on the stiffest Progress setting and they have never broke/bent. I have thought about going back to stock and welding in some supports to attempt to make them stonger and to take out the clunking from the links that i have in there now. Also the brackets from Progress are great and they have not broken either.

I would post pics of the end links that i made up.... But photobucket is being a B!TCH....

Good luck.

Has anyone heard if Billy will be making another batch? I'd love to get a set for my 4th gen depending on price.

^again, I was the only person he was ever going to make one for and it fell through because he didn't have a 4th gen present to work on. I'm far but still decently local to him.

Then I sold the prelude so no more for that. You can always ask but keep in mind he would need a mock up or something in order to get it to fit.
