Yeah, and that's how shops stay in business...repeat customers. Some by choice, some others...not so much.

Anti-seize on the threads of the end links to keep the nuts from rusting or getting stuck on there. Seems like a lot of members end up having to hack up their old end links in order to get their new sway bars installed. I had to take a Dremel to BOTH of mine to get the old end links removed from the sway bar. I even had the bar removed from the car when attempting to remove the end links; didn't help.

order myself a F-sport RSB as well, but didn't order any new end-links, is this necessary?

or is it just cheap enough that you guys are replacing it regardless? lol

^The replacement of the end link are ONLY needed if you cannot remove the bolts/nuts from off the OE end link. Like mine, yours might be rusted onto the OE sway bar.
