Racingline Rear end Links with Stillen RSB. Do they work together or is this OVERkill?

I purchased the front, and should have them this week. I know it was discussed however I did not see any answer or if someone tested the combo of the parts.

thanks,....

And...dont give me any crap about "did you search it" Yep, you know who I am alluding too.

BTW this is my 100th post...

well, the endlinks are adjustable, so if you install them and it feels overkill, just make them longer (loosen) them. made adjustments until it feels right

It's personal preference, it's not detrimental to the car. I'll have the sway and both endlinks installed by the end of the week. If no one else posts up impressions by then I'll be sure to post mine.

Installed the endlinks yesterday and took them out for a ride on some tight back roads. The difference felt is very different than from the change in feel from the springs (overall tighter ride) or Stillen RSB (noticeably less body roll).

The end links make the car feel more planted in corners, almost as if you have more traction. The cornering is noticeably better, I expected it to be a stiffer feel, but it's more that the car is stable when cornering. I'm now able to push the corners until the stock balloon tires (next to go) loose traction. The car feels completely stable when this happens, kind of like the tires are whining from being pushed too hard, while the suspension just shrugs like it's nothing.

I definitely recommend the endlinks and someone had posted asking the best way to remove the inside bottom bolt on the fronts. It is a pain, but I attached a ratchet and gave it a few solid thumps with a hammer and was able to break it free pretty easily. I broke the top bolt with a leverage bar.

I have the front/rear endlinks along with the Stillen RSB and I love the combo. It is not overkill IMO. Next month I put it to the test at my autocross event.

stsxcrle:That's good to hear how much it improves the handling on our (aptly named) "balloon tires". I've had the rear endlinks for a while now but didn't want to put them on until my RSB arrived. It's supposed to be coming today so hopefully I can go for an evening cruise after I've got them both on!

Well written review BTW!

Thanks. And you'll LOVE the difference doing both at once. Cornering is a ton of fun now!

I want to drive a stock Alti so I can get a feel for the difference, it's huge.
