Subject says it all.  Looking for input/opinions on what's out there.

 

Cobalt, MSP, any other brands folks are happy with?

TIA!

I started with Wheeler's.  They work perfectly, fine.  After my brush with the wall at Houston, I have to replace them and I'll go with the raceoutfitter.com version, because everyone else in the X-factor camp uses them, so its easier for the setup guy to always use the same wrenches.

You only need a 17mm wrench for mine. it is not possible to work on a SM without at least 2 17mm wrenches.

No argument, Dave---that was not meant to be disparaging in any way.  I've been perfectly happy with your end-links for the last 4 years.  But, the squirrel gets what the squirrel wants---since he's the one under there futzing with them most of the time.

I know that I speak for many by saying the miatacage endlinks are great and easy to use

[Jim Drago]

I think it is fair to concede that all in the country use their local/favorite guys endlinks... Feel pretty safe in saying, all of them work well as far as I am aware and all feel theirs are better than the next guys

These two aren't exactly light eaters!

Actually, some have a longer minimum length than others, and as best I recall that matters for getting them adjusted without risk of interfering with control arms at full travel. May have been exacerbated by extreme lowering by those of us not using bent spindles to get camber, but I still prefer the short ones. I think the MC units were fine but we didn't use the clevis pins because they introduced a bit of slop. The 949/SuperMiata links are very nice but have been out of stock for awhile.

May be more trouble than it's worth, but you can get by with having only one adjustable link and the other fixed length.

 

Sorry.  That's the cheapskate in me coming out, always looking for ways to cut corners, save money.

Hampton - Based on your comments, I took a look at the DFuser links on their site and ordered a set.
Received and they look very nice. I really like the conical spacers at both sides of the spherical bearings.
Will be installing soon.

Took the extra effort to get the best material and priced well below anyone else.

There are two different styles i have seen regarding the bolt that either goes through the spherical bearings or is a part of the spherical bearings.

 

I like they type that the bold is separate from and goes through the spherical bearings. You can use a longer and harder bolt to affix it to the car. The one piece spherical bearings have failed in my personal experience.
