I discovered today that I need new front end links. Had a bad clunking noise coming from the right front and one of the bushings is toast. Any options I should consider aside from SPL?

Thanks for the link. Have you tried the Moogs? They don't look that different than stock and I shredded the stock ones. Also not so keen on having to re-grease them all the time, but I would consider them if they are a lot more durable.
Thanks for the suggestion blnewt. I ordered some of the Moog front end links. They are supposed to be more heavy duty than stock so we will see how they hold up. (Fingers crossed)
Here is the monster front sway bar. This is heaver than the stock bar so I think I may have actually reduced my center of gravity. Note the grease ports are facing in since I was not paying attention. Whoops! Easy 1 minute fix.
Why the point about the grease zerks fitting out rather than in? I can;t recall off the top of my head which way mine face - i think i may have been in and i don't think I have any trouble when i re-greased them

My Eibachs smoked my front end OEM links (76k) after about 1000 miles with the new sways, went with the moogs for about 10000 miles and they didnt have any issues with the beefy sways, got a steal on some whitelines so I switched for ****s and giggles and the moogs are pretty much as good quality wise after running both.
Are you supposed to do something about your endlinks after lowering your car? I have adjustable endlilnks in mine (forgot the brand..). Should i be extending / shortening them?

Your build has come along great man...rock on
Thanks! I think I will slow down on all the parts for a while. If you have an aluminum undertray up front or want to be able to reach them while the car is on the ground, it is much easier to have the zerk fittings facing out.

Good to hear they held up well for you. I hope they hold up ok on the track.

From what I was reading about the SPL adjustable endlinks it sounds like the adjustment is just so that you do not pre-load the sway bar.

I haven't done more than a handful of track days but I have done fun drives with Porches, and Vettes and pushed enough to keep up and never had a problem. Honestly for the price I should have stuck with the Moogs. Best bang for the buck.
