Default Sway Bar Endlinks

Guys i need new endlinks. I saw a few on ebay for $55 but im hesitant on them. On sewell they are going for $65 each and that is a lil steep for me.

Could u guys recommend a place to purchase them a lil cheaper. If any of u used the ones form ebay and know the quality let me know how they are.

Also are there any aftermarket endlinks for IS350?

these are the ones on ebay

You don't want to nickle and dime on your suspension components. I mean, look at your sig. and the list of the mods on your car and you're trying to save $10.00 or more on the sway bar link...LMAO.

^^^^^ Well those mods have been done over the course of 4 years and didnt just happen over night.

And please read carefully its $55 for for two endlinks from ebay and $65 for EACH endlink from sewell. Theres a big difference not $10

My bad, I'm sorry about misunderstanding. I still won't go with the ebay stuff at half price. I know a customer that bought a pair of tie rod end from ebay to replace them on his 1995 ES300. A year later the tie rod end broke off while he was steering his ES into the parking lot(lucky guy, no damage to the car or injury himself).

I have purchased several suspension parts of this seller. I have his sway bar end links on for over a year now and they are still perfectly fine. Visually the parts are barely distinguishable from OEM parts (atleast the parts for my GS3 were). The parts are manufactured in Taiwan.

I think they'll last quite some time. The build quality seems on par with OEM parts. I think you won't take much of a risk with sway bar end links. There is much less stress on these parts than a lower ball joint for example.

I even purchased lower ball joints from him. 10k miles on them now and still perfect (no play whatsoever, I had them checked recently to make sure everything was fine).
