29632, Evo vs. 2GNT (Adjustable spherical endlinks) Posted by foggy45, Jul-19-06 03:35 PM
i am looking for spherical endlinks and have seen some very nice examples, however they are for the Evo or Sti. i have been looking at Whiteline https://www.whiteline.com.au/store/default.asp?part=KLC002
anybody know if it is possible to use these? are there any better that will fit our car outright?
thanks in advance

build a set with hiem joints from a local speed shop, that all those really are. you need 5/16 male and female to make up the rears. The fronts you will need 2 males per side and you will need to get some threaded coupler stock to make the link.
Here is a tip. They will cost close to the stock parts price and be very noisy.

here is another tip... If you get the right joints (like ones with a teflon ptfe liner) they WONT make noise....
Im using heim joints on my rear toe control arm that I made and everyone says that they think that heim joints are noisy...they are wrong..if done correctly Mine make no noise at all.

theyre fuckin perfect. dont buy anything else. theyve been used in all forms of racing for a long time and dont need advertisement. the johnny joints that are teflon are rebuildable are nice for 4 link bars and stuff like that.

I have seen guys on GalantVR4.org do some chopping and welding to get various Evo suspension parts onto their cars. On the rally forums I visit, guys are building their own turret mounts, tied into the cage for integrity, and they use whatever suspension they want. This just goes to say that, with enough elbow grease and fabrication skills, you can build whatever you want.
I still think that, unless you're trying to build a rally car, going with JICs or Teins will make life easier on it, although not less expensive. DMS might also make a system for the 2G as well.
Sounds like an interesting project.
