07+ Altimas, have you ever adjusted the Racingline Endlinks yet

[crayzitalian3]

i was wondering if any of you guys who own the Racingline Rear Endlinks, adjusted them yet.

cause im lookin to see whats the best adjustment for them for handling

right now mine are as short as they can go, and it feels like it kinda restricted my handling a tad

before i had the endlinks i had the stillen RSB, and i was able to do the entrance and exit ramp, roud-a-bouts-, at around 43ish, once i put the endlinks on, i was able to only hit 41ish with a lot of wheel screeching.

if i were to adjust them, would i have to take them off and adjust them or would i be able to adjust them while they are attached

You are supposed to adjust it to be a "right angle"

[crayzitalian3]

well what i mean is, i was wondering if i should make it longer or shorter, my endlinks are on my car already, so im not sure what you mean by a right angle.

here's some good info :

Generally speaking, a properly designed performance sway bar will have a larger effect initially on the performance of the vehicle.

The issue is that the stock endlinks are put at an adverse angel an are much more prone to binding, which will (a)wear the endlink much faster (b) not allow full performance of the sway bar due to the angle the link is situated. The best position for the endlink is as close to 90 degrees as possible which under stationary load.

The benefit of our endlinks shows as follows:

--Adjustable length--reguardless of vehicle height they can be adjusted to reach the 90degree goal, since they can be longer than stock or shorter.

Then longer you make them while still at or close to 90 degrees is what will apply extra pre-load- thus making the rear even more responsive

--Stronger than stock--will resist extreme abuse-- if binding should occur they are much more suited to resisting the loads applied to them, and will therefore last longer and be much more reliable.

--Bushings-- allow for slightly less articulation than stock, meaning part for part they will react faster than stock, limiting the body roll. They also help to protect the hiem joint from debris, allowing a much longer life compared to similar products.

--All major parts are either chrome dipped or anodized-- ensuring resistance from corrosion for a long time.

***Think of endlinks like Struts(analogically speaking)-springs will lower the car and make it stiffer, improving handling (the main goal), but the stock struts are usually not upto the task, and will in time wear out faster and cause their own side effects (i.e poor rebound, unpredictable control in rough conditions), the struts therefore should be upgraded with an adequitly suited set to ensure maximum benefit is achieved. In the reverse situation; performance struts with stock springs will just make the stock springs perform at their maximum potential (ie no side effects).***

cliff notes: endlinks are a COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCT to swaybars NOT a replacement.

Since no front swaybar exists for the 07+altima, the endlinks are your only option to stiffen the front end.

ive had mine as short as they can go since i got them, and i they work better than stock.

your problems seems to be your tires. the reason they werent schreeching when you had the stock endlinks was because the tire/suspension was the ideal setup at the time.

now that you have added a rsb, and endlinks, and stiffened things up a bit, and the suspension also doesnt travel as much, you now rely more on the tires than the suspension to hold the car to the ground because the car doesnt lean as much. i would recommend that you upgrade your tires to a stickier compound, and that will help you push the car harder.

are you still on the stock tires, because they suck, and are only meant for comfort!

i have newer ones on, but they still suck, im puttin on the nismo maxima 19's and yokohama s.drive 245/40/19 in the summer, the tires i read on tire rack were amazing and can be pushed pretty hard, so once those go on, i should really feel what these bad boys are made of

one crazy max, im on the island too, im from deer park, you go to any meets or anything?

not really, i havent been to a meet in a while. i need to clean my car before i go to one, where do you usually go.

i should give you a ride in my car so you can feel what it is supposed to ride like!

lol i would like a ride in a 3.5, that would be sick.

i usually go to westbury, i dont know how they will be soon, but in westbury on old country road, near roosevelt field mall, they have a huge huge HUGE meet at best buy, last time i went there was close to 300 cars, everything you can think of, gtrs, m3s, evo's, 350zs, not a lot of altimas, but you get the idea, its like a huge meet of everything, my friends went last thursday (its everyday thursday starting at 9) and said there were 5 GTRs there, 3 supras, supercharged vette, and so much more

i live in deer park, im always around when the cars come here on the weekend.
