Endlink comparison
I am trying to determine which endlinks to buy for the rear swaybar. I think I've ruled out Whitelines... Kartboys are shorter (to allow for installation around the fuel pipe?). Perrins have those cool bushings, and MRTs match front and rear.
Let me know what you all think.
Thanks!

I have heard good things about all of them. The spherical bearings on the Perrins are probably overkill, and they are the most expensive. The new whitelines get my vote though. Good company, look great, and if they really are $79...

I voted for whiteline because they have pretty good customer support and have matching sets front and rear. Also the price.
However the older weaker steel one's i'd try to avoid.
Kartboy is a close second, they're local (well they're US based) and they haven't had any problems, To my knowledge at least.
MRT i think is just whiteline, i could be wrong. the perrin stuff is nice, just pricy.
If i had to do it over again, I'd go Whiteline because the price.

just a word of caution that some people are hashing out over on nasioc about the Perrin endlinks and some aftermarket sway bars - particularly the Perrin upgraded sway bar.
With the combo of the two, some people are experiencing "walking" of the sway bar, esp. after hard driving. Somebody mentioned after a track event that the sway bar could've come close enough to puncturing a tire.
Anywho, Perrin released a "kit" to fix the problem, and it is apparnelty a simple fix. However, if you use JUST the Perrin endlinks with the stock bar, you should really not experience this problem. OR if you JUST have the perrin swaybar, you will not experience this problem.
Just thought I'd add that, since it seems kinda news to me.

I've still got the OEM end links on the rear (for now). I didn't much care for the older steel 'curly-Q' Whiteline links but the new ones look to be solid performers. Kartboy would be my second choice. Don't have an opinion about MRT or Perrin end links.

Were testing all the links in the "Mangler" 
i'll have full disclosure shortly.
the results have been pretty interesting to say the least.
So far the Rev-lab links are the strongest but they do not allow any articulation movement ( that is really bad).\
Stay tuned.
