Progress Sway Bars and Endlinks

Will the Progress sway bars work with the agency power end links?

why wouldn't they? the AP and and progress sways are very comparable, almost the same price even.

the front AP endlinks are adjustable so they should work perfectly. the rears though i'm not so sure about since they are not adjustable.

the sways are pretty much identical. 19mm/32mm and 3 way adjustable.

The AP endlinks are adjustable, front & rear. They are pricy though.

These are adjustable and the price is a bit better. http://www.evo-r.net/product/RX-8/LINK/index.htm
The difference between these and the AP is that with these you will have to remove one end or the endlink to adjust them. With the AP, it's not necessary to remove the endlink.

You chose to show the rear. The front are adjustable. I know, I have them.

the reason why he pointed out the rear endlinks is because you said the AP front&rear were both adjustable.

Since the ends can rotate 360 degrees, I don't see why you can't use the AP front endlinks for the rear.

They are expensive. I may switch over to the Evo-R links. I don't like the collars that are used on the AP links. When they get loose, they no longer work right. They get sloppy. They should have used cone bushings at the heim joints. Plus in weather up here, the joints are open to the elements and corrosion.

do you have pics of front and rear installed? the website only has one pic of one installed and i can't tell which one it is. plus the bottom 2 look like rod ends not endlinks, is that correct?

Here are pics of the Evo-R Endlinks:

Bottoms are full replacements, as well as the fronts. Fronts can adjust while on the car but the rears need to be disconnected on one end.
