Just Want to make sure i got this, By installing end links on my 8, ( MY car is lowered) it will adjust the way my rim sits and i wont get uneven wear on my tires, Because as it sits im getting alot of wear on the insides of my tires. is this the only way to fix this problem?

False. You need an alignment. There is no need to buy anything. Just go get an alignment. FYI You are supposed to get an alignment after changing your suspension (like lowering it).

Got my endlinks in a timely fashion and are equipped as advertised. I installed them last night with ease and the car feels pretty good with them on. These replaced whiteline endlinks which produced a literal pile of parts. Each end had a bushing, washer and spacer. Multiple that by 2 on each link and you have a ton of parts.

Thanks to Jay for the quick shipping and answering my questions.

flashwing, glad to hear you got new endlinks.
these have been on my shopping list for quite some time...

Except that it did make my car crisper :dunno:

After installing these my car doesn't understeer anymore either. Want to explain that one bag head?

Jedi54 08-09-2009 05:43 PM

^^^ it's called butt dyno syndrome.
your mind is playing tricks on you.

JantzenRX-8 08-09-2009 06:08 PM

OK... the car feels better than it did before the new end links. It feels (insert your own word which YOU think is appropriate here).

fd3s777 08-09-2009 07:52 PM

Yep, everyone that had them on had that feeling too. Specially at coners and on the track. I need to get harder suspensions tho. Cuz after install all the suspension bars under my 8 has made it stiffer on the under chasise. which made the suspnsion became too soft for current setup. Now need save money for APexi N1 like my FD.

If you switched from stock endlinks to adjustables while having a lowered setup the whole time it could feel better simply because the sway bar is adjusted more into the correct position.

I will say this much that this endlink design is much easier to install and contains a whole lot less parts. Taking off my old endlinks I literally ended up with a pile of nuts, bolts, washers, spacers and bushings. No doubt that also is why they costed over $100 more.

correct.

and if your stocks were used with lowered springs, well that is going to feel different, and old links vs new links. most likely..

but the endlinks from evo r get the lowered stuff in the right place..

I am in the same boat Jay, I couldn't believe the difference in handling feel I am super excited about getting these in stock and getting them out to the masses.

I can talk all day about my butt dyno but once it gets out there it is going to be a must have for anyone looking for an improvement in handling.

I am going to consider this to be a better investment than sway bars and that is saying alot.

Of course I am referencing the Under Body 6 Point, that was a tremendous difference without a doubt.

btw thanks for being the donor car and doing all the test fitting. :)

Another happy customer (so far) I was initially worried since I couldn't get a hold of anybody to get the tracking info of my purchase, but the item arrived from China within a few days. I wanna say that it took less than a week.
I've waited until I've installed and tested the product before I write down any comments. And so far, I'm pretty satisfied. It eliminated the rough sounds that I get from my previous setup (heim joints) and still maintaining a proper adjustment and a somewhat solid feel. I've gone through 2 different kinds of heim joint endlinks aside from the stock pieces, and this has to be the best among the ones that I've tried in terms of adjustability and streetability.
My Kudos to Evo-R for an outstanding product!

Jedi54 08-15-2009 09:26 AM

just ordered mine yesterday...stay tuned.

pdxhak 08-15-2009 10:03 AM

Yep I plan to order these soon as well.

chickenwafer 08-15-2009 03:41 PM

I want to get some, but my eyelid accident with Evo-R I was less than thrilled and a bit weary of ordering something else...

Awaiting the Jedi Stamp Of Approval....

Jedi54 08-15-2009 11:33 PM

you know me man, I'll call 'em how I see them.
expect a review from me as soon as they arrive. :D:

NP glad to help. These hot under body parts are awsome!

rx8dorifto 08-16-2009 10:16 AM

got my endlinks from Jay some days back...but haven't got time to install it...OR i should say that I have no confidence deciding the correct length for the new endlinks.

My car is lowered slightly only, now with the stock endlinks the whiteline swaybar looks quite horizontal for front...no idea at all for the rear.

So, you guys have any measurement for your Evo-R endlinks length?

fd3s777 06-02-2014 07:03 AM

many people PMed me about this. They are back in stock ready to ship.
