Default OEM or Aftermarket Rear Sway Links?

Hi there.

I've purchased the Ultra Racing Rear Sway Bar for my 2007 IS250 + new OEM rear sway bar links.

Just want to know if people here recommend OEM or after market sway links.

Thoughts?

I, too, am interested. I am thinking of getting the FSport rear sways and since I putting it in, might as well replace the links with any good ones?

^^^^No the F-Sport bars utilize the stock end links. They are working fine for me.

^^^^Ya know you could do some research, but, here's a pict for you. the circle in the upper left is the bracket that holds the bushings around the bar. The links, in the second circle, at the end of the sway bar are, well, the end links.

annoyingly the "serial number" which you can use to check authenticity online says "if purchase after may 2012 please wait 1 month for system to update"

Is a control arm the same as sway bar end link?

Is this an applicable sway bar end link for the is250?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MEGAN-2pc-Re...sories&vxp=mtr

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/m...2-p-87446.html

Any benefit in buying this over oem to go with new rear sway bar?

so confusing.

whats difference between rear camber kit and rear toe control arm
