Who makes front end links for the G37X sedan?

I went back and forth for days after being told they would and wouldn't work. I need to follow up with Kirk to see if I can borrow the SPL links he bought for his RWD and see if they would work on my AWD. If they do I'll just buy him new ones and report back. SPL has been the only front end link I've found.

When you change the suspension height of the car the preload of the swaybar is affected. The main point of adjustable endlinks is to remove any preload off of the swaybars. That is why one would want to buy an adjustable endlink instead of the OEM endlink - not because they break the OEM endlink (I guess that could be another reason though). It is also why the adjustable endlinks should be installed/adjusted on a rack with all of the weight of the car on the suspension.
I have Whiteline rear endlinks installed, I also have SPL front endlinks but have not installed those yet as my car is having surgery.

I wasn't suggesting G37Xtreme to get them which is why I said this:
Last I remember I think I set the alignment at -1.0 front camber and -2.5 rear camber.

So I'm hopeful but we'll see. The OEM are cheap enough if I start breaking them but if the SPL will fit I'll definitely go that route.

I don't think there is going to be a perceivable difference in adjustable end links and swaybar preload in a street driven car. Certainly not a enough of a difference to justify $350. But it's your money, spend it however you want, at ~$10 a piece, I'll just stick with OE and replace them as needed

Ok, I don't get it. Your concerned about swaybar preload, but have far out of spec rear camber?

There actually was a difference when taking the car around the cones after changing the rear endlinks. Even in normal street/highway driving I could tell, but not as noticeable a difference as say changing the swaybars themselves.
Is it enough to justify the cost? That's always up to the individual like you said, but there still is a reason why adjustable endlinks exist.

I'm very interested in this thread. I really want adjustable;e end links front and rear as I'm in the middle of planning my suspension build. I've had cars in the past that have broken end links and adjustable (good ones) are worth it to me. I wish Racingline made stuff for our G's. Their adjustable end links worked great on my last car.

^ The part numbers are exactly the same between AWD and RWD, seems unlikely that there might be a difference like you say. 54618-JK52C and 54668-JK02D
Now if it's because the Z34 end links won't fit a V36 to begin with then that's a different story and I might have some for sale in the future.

Edit: But I have been proven wrong before based just on looking at part numbers alone (damn you journey fog lights!). So who knows until we try?
