Pete, I've finally taken a look at these sway end links and it looks good. While I know that they are much stronger than the OEM ones, my biggest concern is the heim(sp) joints that is used to replace some of the rubber bushing. These heim joints are used mostly on race cars and I have a set on my supra but they make alot of noise. So I'm thinking that it will definately be noisey for the GS don't you think?

That's my concern as well...thats why I wanted to test them out first once I receive them.

This was a problem in engine dampers for some cars as well. Most people's solution was to inject some low viscosity grease to absorb some of the vibration. I'd imagine the thick grease that comes with the daizen sway bars would work wonder.

Same here Pete, that was my concern as well. No doubt it will be a little noisier than rubber. I need new end links as well soon and I might just end up getting OEM or the ebay ones. If after you test them out it turns out to be quiet, than I'll grab a set off you, but I'll let you test them out first
