Same thing, half the cost. Unfortunately on backorder right now, though.

The OEM metal endlinks (20822934) are $33/pc at Rockauto and Amazon, or $28/pc at CarID.

I went with the AFE endlinks. They look and feel like quality parts.

I like the AFE's as well. Seems like the best bet. Looks great too. Amazon has them for a decent price and available now.

Perry,

I like the Bilsteins and sway bar set up. What is the model numbers on those and where did you buy from? Bushings too?

The sway bars were on the car when I got it. The rear sway bar is a Steinjager and from what I can tell the front is stock. Haven’t measured it to be sure though. I planned on going with the Johnny OConnel sway bars but can’t find them with out the endlinks I already have. The Bilstein shocks are their B5s. Front PN 24-029773. Rear PN 24-029780. I got them from Rock Auto.

Just ordered a set of Moog sway bar links and prothane sway bar bushings today so hopefully those will work out after seeing these nice high end links. I was starting to get some creaking up front.

Don't buy adjustable if you don't need them. Waste of money.

In the picture above, see how the lower span of the sway bar is parallel to the ground? That's how it should be, and if by chance you've altered the ride height of your car, you need the adjustable links, in order to keep the sway bar in that orientation.
