Adjustable Endlinks - Worth It?
1) Is most everyone running these?
2) Can you corner weight without them?
3) Are they all noisy?
4) Where did you buy yours?
5) Any other advice?

1) Is most everyone running these? Yes
2) Can you corner weight without them? Yes, but when you reattach the sway bar you'll set it with preload and your corner weights will be off.
3) Are they all noisy? No
4) Where did you buy yours? Summit Racing
5) Any other advice? Have fun!

I got mine from Guldstrand.

It's nice to not have to replace bushings. I have not gotten the car corner weighted yet though.

VBP makes the T1 end links. The big problem is that most heims are 1/2", yet the OEM holes are 12mm. You end up either opening up the control arm holes, or use a bolt that is smaller than the heim is designed for. Either way, you do get some noise.
I recommend running an adjustable on one side, and OEM on the other (ie one adjustable front and rear). This way you way full adjustability, yet less noise. ***you may have to shorten the heim to match the OEM, as the OEM links are quite short.

I have the ones that come with the Addco bar. It is surprisingly quiet. Like David said, I previously bought a pair and put one on the front and one on the rear but both on the same side of the car so I could remember/adjust both in one jacking. My class does not permit me to change the rear so I have the stock plastic ones...

FWIW, I have been very happy with the Addco endlinks.....1/2 fasteners require slight control arm burr removal from the factory bolts being tightened and large loads being applied. The VBP endlinks are nice , but the Addco's have nicer built in spacer, and better nuts for the fasteners. The VBP nuts are very shallow and periodically strip when tightened.
