I kept the stock end links when the eibach sways got installed. Going on 4 years now without issues/noise. I guess it depends how you have them adjusted and how aggressively you drive.

Just the front right, what setting do you have the front on? I have mine on the 2nd one which i think is more agressive?

Might see if i can get a pair of OEM front links and set my bar to the least aggressive setting. Thanks

The MOOG are the OEM. However, There's a discussion in the tech section about the replacement MOOGs and how they are more stout than the OEM and the price was attractive.

MoonFace, I hear, are good replacements for the fronts...

Saw some MOOG brand but looked similar to stock and don't know if it will actually hold up. Thanks
like others have said, MOOG would be a good replacement over OEM. If you're lowered or plan on lowering your ride, it might be good to get adjustable endlinks. I haven't installed my Eibach sway yet, but when I do, I'll be using Whiteline adjustable end links....will also lower my car at that time as well.

Have you found whitelines that will fit the front of an X? If so please post the part number.

Good luck with that!!! I've pretty much given up the search for end links for an X. When mine go, I'll probably go with some MOOGs.

I thought MoonFace, since they are very adjustable might work, but I can't get any concrete confirmation. And I believe SPL is out too. Don't know what's left.

And since opinions are like cottonwood seeds, I'll share this one too: I'm not digging the wide stitching pattern on the boot. It seems overly fat and unnecessary. But obviously you selected that pattern on purpose. Are you happy with it?

I was actually considering the 4DSC **** from the Maxima as well, but was able to swing a decent deal on a brand new 2016 GT-R **** so I went that route instead.


I think the top fitment of the boot will look at little better once I tighten everything up, but funny you should mention the stitching. I originally picked that stitching pattern to match the stitching on my steering wheel, so I actually had to send Mike at Redline a picture of the stitching on my steering wheel and he did a great job of matching it in both size and type. However, after installing the boot I am in agreement with you and feel that stitching pattern is a little too "bulky" for the boot, plus you really can't even see the steering wheel stitching at the same time as the boot stitching... leave it to me to overthink stitching! In retrospect I should have first picked out my shift **** and then had the stitching on the boot done to match the ****. Oh well, live and learn... I'll probably order something different next time I change my **** anyway. LOL

Wow! That turned out great!! Props for making sure you got it right the first time rather than jumping the gun and installing it when the fitment wasn't right. This might just make me pull the trigger on a new arm rest cover from Redline! Can I ask what was wrong with the original fitment? Was it just too large for a tight fit when you originally received it? If we know what needs to be changed ahead of time then we can just order it that way... I've found that I measure everything and send Mike at Redline the custom measurements rather than buying their "standard" product. He usually charges $10 extra for the customization, but the final product fitment turns out to be much better in the end.

So if our mechanical engineer is going to develop custom brackets, we want to make sure there's enough people interested.

We've been gearing up for SEMA the past few months, so once that's over and things slow down a bit, we may be able to look into it.

Nick C.

You guys have a booth at SEMA this year, Nick? I plan to be there at least Thursday and Friday, so I will stop by and say, "Hi".


FYI... Finally got my Tail-as-Turn modules installed last weekend. I ended up leaving the factory turn signal bulbs in-line, since I have the JDM tails and like the amber turn signals, but I do need to change the bulbs to LED's so they will flash insync with the rest of the bulbs.

Aw, sorry to bring that up. It seems we share some similar values on what does or doesn't look right. Which is why we're here, I suppose.

I'm going to order the $15 pack of sample leather swatches from Redline, to see what looks right with my Stone Leather interior. If one of them is a *go*, then I'll probably replace my boot too around Xmas. I really, really like what 4DRZ did here with the boot and his armrest.

That was meant to be directed to 4DRZ and only him. I wasn't even considering what RexHavoc had done. I just know too many people that will take in on themselves to try and modify something in a rush that doesn't fit right, myself included, and really end up screwing it up.. just because your excited to get your new part/mod installed. I've since learned to take my time with the installations and make sure I get them right and I was simply complimenting 4DRZ for doing the same. Hope I didn't make anyone feel I was directing that towards them.
