RLN THDR Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 $15? You get what you pay for. You WILL be replacing them after a few thousand miles. So figure 2 new $15 links every oil change. Where is the savings?Get some GOOD endlinks. Besides thet fact that they will outlast your car, performance endlinks are one of the single best performance upgrades you can do to your car. Ask anyone that has upgraded their endlinks how it affected handling. It's money well spent and IMO is not the smartest thing to cheap out on.There's a GB forming on our links as we speak...http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/Who-Would-B...Buy-t59058.html+1 teh best!

They are easy to install and just looking at them you can tell they are way beefier than the stock ones. If you plan on driving your car aggressviely at all, pick up a set of these (plus some IPD sways), well worth the money IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullittandy Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 2001 V70 T5I just bought some endlinks (cheap ones no idea of brand) from FCP. The rod's diameter is significantly smaller than the stock ones that I took off. I'd expect that these will not last as long. I'm not sure how high qulaity the joints are though. However, the stock ones don't last either.Luckily the stock ones I pulled off wer in good shape because unknown to me they were rplaced 15K miles ago with some warrantly work!P.S. I kind of like parts that are easily replaced to wear out because then you get to notice a differnece when you change them. Kind of like spark plugs in older carbed cars, you feel the difference.

Schwein Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Well guys thanks for the responses; I went with the OEM units from FCP because of time restraints, along with a serious lack of money right now. However ill assume these will last at least 10 15k miles so ill worry about it when that time comes, perhaps do some sways and end links at the same time. Thanks for all your help guysBen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
