Default endlinks

ok, i want to upgrade my rear swaybar, but when i do i will need to upgrade the endlinks as well.
im sure the endlinks are gonna break off once i add on a bigger swaybar...

so my question is, are there any compatable endlinks (ie from a supra) that we can use?
if not, are there any aftermarket endlinks out there for us?
all i can find are the Energy Suspension ones that dont mount up the same way.

ive done a few searches and found nothing.

ps. my car is a 93 ls4

Those links are pretty strong steel. Their stress points are up and down. If they fit the eyes tight on the new swaybar, use a little lock-tite on the stud prior to reinstalling the washer and nut.

im not worried about the main shaft of the link breaking.
but the joints cant be too strong.

ive seen friends break their stock endlinks on stock sways some how.
plus the Addco sway bar is much-much thicker than the stock one.

Addco sway bar ,maybe a bad idea for you,I see you live in Washington and the rain and the Addco maybe a dangerous combo. Stick to the stock one and add the Energy bushings.

I'm in the process of doing all the front end with new wheel bearings as well , I think I will be getting some T6 alloy 16 mm hex bar and drilling and tapping each end [ one left hand ] to take some MS series high pressure motor sport rod ends , last nearly forever , able to adjust extra preload into the sway if one likes and not hard to make , plus not expensive , best end links one could get !!
Will post some pic's when I get them done .
