Default Aftermarket Sway Bar Links

What aftermarket Sway bar links are you using and was it worth it?

I have the Pfadt JOC Sway Bars and I am using the End Links that came with them. Hard to say if they are worth it since it was installed at the same time as the sway bars.

With that said, unless you are having issues with your end links I don't see a need to replace the stock ones.

I'm currently running Eibach sway bars but I think one of my end links may be shot. When I pulled into my driveway I heard and felt it a knock/pop. I'm going to check it out later this week but I suspect that could be it.

I get about 30K out of the OEM end links with OEM sways (Yes, I drive my vet like I stole it), but the OEM end links for all 4 are only around $100, so not the end of the world replacing them about the same time I burn up the second set of super sports each time.

The moog's are just as good, but are heaver, so why I run the lighter OEM end links instead (cars already a pig at 3200lbs, so no reason to just shove more weight on it for a part that will not last any longer).

I assumed you meant ADJUSTABLE end links. My current favorite are the Steinjager end links, but I like the Vette Brakes setup also. Only way to scale your car, and keep the bar from rotating to one side, is to install adjustable end links and make sure they are "neutral"

Are the Steinjagers pretty durable? I've heard they can be noisy and don't last long.

I have a set of Moogs. I just haven't put them on yet. Did you add any grease to them?
