got mine yesterday, installed the rear endlinks with ease, however the front was an impossibility. I dont know if i dont have the right tools or what but no matter how hard i tried the bolts just wont move a bit, and i'm relatively strong. anyone who installed their fronts can you chime in?

I changed out my springs last week and I needed a breaker bar to loosen the fr links from the strut assembly - they are really torqued down.

found my problem. according to the instruction, the stock bolts are 19mm, it may be the case for coupes, but for sedan it is 18mm, i nearly destroyed my bolts due to slippage, but w/ 18 mm sockets they came off relatively easy except for one bolt. Joe you might want to change ur instruction for the sedans. jfyi.

did a quick drive, u can definitely feel the difference, granted our cars r not race cars, it is definitely a worthwhile investment.

Sorry guy's I had a bad week at work. I’ve had fronts and rears for a week and love them! (It’s a stock 3.5). I was a Honda tech for a year (too much stress so I quit) and can tell a big difference in handling. It’s tight with less roll and the back tracks with the front perfect.

I suggest installing them as received ( in the shortest state) then adjust them as you become comfortable with the car.

This is how I'm keeping them until I get my springs and sway bar installed. I'll tweak from there.

seems like who ever got these endlinks were really impressed ... just wondering if anyone has needed or played with the adjustability of these to attempt further dial in things?

any chance of a second GB ???
