I have an 01 with F-45 Suspension. I ordered a set of Bilsteins and some Z06 sways. Should I also upgrade to metal endlinks?
The car is a weekend toy, but I am not taking to any roadcourse races wither. i a, just looking to do some upgrades as the suspension is 7 years old.

Thanks for any help,
Ben

In a word Yes.....

The plastic end links can break with the stiffer bars.. Might as well get rid of them while you are in there....

I did this same modification in stages about 2 years ago; yes, you'll want to change the endlinks as well. You'll be halfway there when you remove the old sway bar, so it's only the marginal cost of the new end links.

This new setup will significanlty improve the handling of your car, and I was shocked (pun intended) to see what a difference in ride the Billsteins made. The ride is much stiffer, and certainly noticable on any concrete freeway with expansion joints. It's not harsh, but it is much stiffer. I thought that kind of change would only come with new springs, but the Bilsteins alone did it.

This setup is a huge improvement for HPDE days!
