just get them, they will enhance the RSB by alot. ive had them on my stock setup since march, and they work really good.

i was actually the one to prototype them on my 07 sedan, which led to the rest of the racingline endlink sales!

Short answer - No you do not NEED endlinks

End links connect the sway bar (aka anti-sway bar) to the suspension.

and from how stuff works:Anti-sway BarsAnti-sway bars (also known as anti-roll bars) are used along with shock absorbers or struts to give a moving automobile additional stability. An anti-sway bar is a metal rod that spans the entire axle and effectively joins each side of the suspension together.

When the suspension at one wheel moves up and down, the anti-sway bar transfers movement to the other wheel. This creates a more level ride and reduces vehicle sway. In particular, it combats the roll of a car on its suspension as it corners. For this reason, almost all cars today are fitted with anti-sway bars as standard equipment, although if they're not, kits make it easy to install the bars at any time.

getting after market will only stiffen up the body roll. Is that something you need? want?

I say go for them.

well im getting the Eibach pro springs before the sale at Stillen is done at the end of the month, so i figured i'd get and install any other suspension stuff i need while i have the car in the shop getting the springs installed. this is my first modded car, so all of this suspension stuff is new to me, and i dont really know what i do/dont need.

The nice thing about the Racingline end links is that they're adjustable. So after you install them if you don't like the feel of the car as it corners you can make it stiffer or softer (longer=softer).

You car would be perfectly fine without them. But if you have the $200 that you want to spend on your car to make it perform a little better then I don't think you will be disappointed.

How many of you have actually adjusted them after installing them? I'm hoping that Stillen comes out with a November group buy for the RSB, that'll be first. But I'm on the fence about buying the end-links.
