The Mystique needs new rear sway bar end links and the ones on the SVT are still good so I figure i'll upgrade the SVT and put those on the Mystique. Been looking at a few different ones and whatnot and it seems that Moog, Stazi's and Bradness's are the best of the bunch.

I plan on upgrading the entire suspension next year but wanted to get the worn out end link issue fixed on the Mystique soon. Plans for the SVT's suspension are: Koni Sport kit or K-sports, bigger rear bar (unsure on which yet) and boxed in rear subframe.

I've seen pics of Stazi's but would like pics of the Moog and Bradness end links if anyone has them.

Thoughts? I'm leaning towards the Moog but am open to suggestions...
 
Here's a pic of the Moog v stock for reference...

i would have to agree the moogs are the best ive found.there alot thicker and there greasable.....so they last longer.......

Yup, I found that pic searching through the forums. If I find out my front ones are toast i'll be buying the Moog's for that for sure.

I found a pic of the Bradness ones, but not a great picture. I am currently leaning towards picking up a set of the Moog to try out.

EDIT: Ordered the Moog's from RockAuto, with discount and shipping added in total came to $45... I should have them Friday so i'll take pics when they show up... :D
 
Got any pics of them?

It might be helpful to have pictures posted of some of the aftermarket options available to us... I'll get pics of the Moog rear links when they come. Hopefully they'll be here Friday...

Oh sheeeeiiitttt. I don't think the post ever mentioned whether they were fronts or back so I just assumed they were back because they're usually the ones to go bad :crazy:. I ASSumed :eek:

I think the title of this thread explained it?:shrug:
 
I think I may have bradness' picks of rear endlinks on my computer at home I will try to get them up ASAP.... his look more like stockers but with much better bushings. Stazis look Beefed up thats why I went with them.

Stockers(with shot bushings) Vs Stazi

They definitely made an improvement in balance. It's not like a full suspension upgrade but it did seem to help balance the car out. Haven't had a chance to see if it helped at the limits but cruising around town taking corners normally it seems to have stabilized the car out a bit.

I didn't shoot any pics on the car... I can get some if you'd like, nothing overly exciting though...

I got them from rockauto. Total was $44.xx shipped with the discount and shipping and whatnot... Ordered late wednesday night arrived at my door Friday around 1... :D
 
Hmm. I'm still gonna make some calls to try to find them locally. If the fronts only cost $11 I dont wanna pay all that much more for the rears.
