Front Sway-bar Endlinks

I have a 2006 BMW 325i e90 lowered on Sonic Tuning S1 coilovers. My front Endlinks look a bit worn especially the bolts and one of the Endlinks the tread is stripped.

I would like to replace both Endlinks but do not want to buy sonic tuning.

I see that HP autoworks and ground control makes Endlinks for the e90s. Does anyone have any experience with either brand? If so please share.

They work perfectly. I have taken my car with them installed to the track several times.

You should have adjustable end-links anyway since you're lowered. The sway bar isn't going to be in the right position otherwise; when you lower the car, you're altering the suspension geometry.

Interesting. I don't hear as many people changing the front end links for some reason. I always hear about people changing the rear toe links, but that is to help with tracking straight.

It's neat that the GT500 uses the same end links!

Thanks for the recommendation! I just purchased these adjustable end links as my passenger side oem end link was bent because of being low. I also have camber plates on the way for my kw v2's.

I have the ground control front and rear end links plus I replaced my velocity toe links with the ground control ones. Very nice set. Tightened up the suspension feel!

Have Ground Control Street/School suspension.

Have Ground Control end links, front M3 sway & M3 arms. They said something about stock end links not fitting. Oddly, stock links looked fine on comparison, but Ground Control fit & worked without a hitch.

Rear end links stock w/M3 sway & M3 arms, work fine, no problem.

Little off topic, I installed HP Autowerks' rear toe links - excellent.
