    Who's got an opinion on the best endlinks?

    Right now I've got Perrin and i'll have to give them a big -1. clunkity clunk clunk. :x anyone not have 'noise' problems with these or any others? i'm so sick of them i might risk breaking my stock ones and putting them back on. Can't drive through a parking lot without thinking i've got someone trapped in my trunk!

    Yes they're the solid type. Yes, when the bolts are tight they're quiet (lasts ~10 miles). I'm just tired of them and am looking for a suggestion on what to try next.
    Appearantly on NASIOC, Jeff Perrin is taking back the tight-bearing endlinks, loosening them and sending them back with the polyurethane spacers.
    I don't really know that that will solve my problem, as I have already loosend them in a vise with a punch. They move more effortlessly, but still clunk.

    I use helix rear endlinks in back, full pillowball, I have never heard them make any noise so far.

    If you decide to sell, let me know. I have a set on the to-do list, over the winter, but if you are going to sell, I may be interested. I don't daily drive the car so clunking is not a big concern.... Thanks.

    BTW, I have been on stock endlinks since day one... First, I ran a 20mm FHI bar and switched to a Perrin adjustable, set on 24mm, before last season. ...no issues.

    Do they make helix endlinks in any other color? They are an eyesore in that purplish color.
