Who makes front end links for the G37X sedan?
Like the title says...Who makes front end links for the G37X sedan? I ordered rear links from Whiteline but can't find a manufacturer of front ones. I'm adding Hotchkis sways, which arrived today.

This is such a late reply but, if you search around the forums there are some people that sell them. Also Moonface makes a adjustable swaybar link for the G but they are very pricey :/.. Part # is XMF-SAL13 , For Infiniti G37 (V36), Nissan 370Z (Z34). Hope that helps.

Are you guys actually breaking these or just wanting an upgrade?
Over on the 370 board the consensus seems to be OE. A set of AWD fronts is $22 on rock auto.
A set of RWD rears is $26 vs $130 for the set of rear whitelines. You would need to replace the rears 5 times to come out ahead on whiteline. I've been on eibach sways for 14k and haven't had an issue with the OE endlinks

I haven't broken anything...Don't even have upgraded sways yet.
I'm more of a "prevent the break from happening" kinda guy rather than a "wait until it fails, and hope nothing bad happens" kinda guy.

If one were to get an aftermarket end link, but not adjust it, and run it like it was stock, would that end link also be prone to failure, or are they built tough enough that you can do that?

So are aftermarket end links more about adjust ability rather than a sheer strength increase? In another thread where I raise this question, Rochester mentioned that lowered cars put stress on the end links, not so much a stiffer sway bar.

Edit: not all cars are created equal. Look at Mazdas. Almost every Mazda I see has broken rear end links hanging down. I snapped two on my stock 6s. How many broken end links have you experienced in the past?

I have Whiteline rear endlinks installed, I also have SPL front endlinks but have not installed those yet as my car is having surgery.

If you look around, you'll find broken end links in this forum plus some in the Z forum as well.
All of that being said, someday, I may lower, and when I do, I'll need adjustable end links...however, I can't seem to find any for a G37x in the front.
For now, I am thinking about just ordering the Hotchkis and having some fun. If I put some swift springs in, I'll address it then I guess, but I like to be proactive, not reactive.

^ Read my post above. If you are stock height use the OEM endlinks.
These are the SPL Endlinks for the Z34 that I have, they should be the same for the V36 as the swaybars are the same but I have yet to install them and verify.

EDIT:
I need to compare the front AWD end links to the front RWD end links and see what's different about them. It's got to be more than a length issue, as SPL (or anyone) could just cut out part of the material (unless they need to be substantially longer). So maybe it's the geometry of the end links.

^ 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.

It's the AWD that causes issues. I contacted SPL and asked, but they said it wouldn't work. Further research has returned nothing with regards to adjustable front end links for the AWD G37.
