Drove the SC a little too hard...

And this was the end result x2

Anyone know if there are aftermarket end links that are stronger than the stock ones?

Simple physics, really...

3840 pounds travelings at...*ahem* "drift" speeds...along a 13 mile mountain pass with quite a few 15MPH hairpin turns...all adds up to two destroyed end links.

Actually, I've lightened my SC down to 3748 lbs and have slightly upgraded suspension, but obviously have a lot more tuning to do...

Pretty common as the stock units are weak and when coupled to aftermarket sways they will give with a little spirited driving. Always keep spares if your drive it hard.
