Do endlinks really make that much difference?
I'm *this* close to ordering the AVO full suspenshion kit. Will let you guys all know if/when that occurs...

I changed my Whiteline spherical endlinks to the Whiteline solid links for wrx and seemed to have solved most of the clunk noise.... but still had slight noise when braking. after reading other posts on the net found that coilovers can also cause the same clunk noise, mainly the pillowball mount. I tightened up the pillowball nut and noise seemed to have gone for now.

Right now all i have on the car is front and rear lower arm braces, rear sway bar and a front strut brace.

I removed the endlinks off the car - they were definitely the cause of the noise. Yet to find out exactly why they were clunking.

Did the rear lower arm brace make much difference?

I'm thinking about getting the STi rear arms as well...

Hard to say... the upgrades as a package make a difference but as individual bits and pieces i don't know...

Yeah, the STI trailing arms are on my list too along with a few other bits and pieces but first i have to put on all the stuff i already have!!!

EDIT - I just realised that I never changed the endlinks.

I put on

Tein Super Street
Front and Rear sway bars
LCA bushes

BUT

I have some terrible knocking as a result. Could it be the LCA bushes. If not its the teins.

Well it arrived on Tuesday

I have yet to fit it, that's all.

been one month, and still haven't seen the rear mounts. no call, no email. nothing.

I think they need to be made first. Then again, packing day was 20070928 according to the box...

Here's my AVO gear that just arrived.

And of course the 20mm sway bar itself, which is already on the car.
