End links

[krakum1967]

I would recommend getting the end links over the bar. The end links "stock" on the RSS are plastic, and the ones I removed were twisted and distorted. I dont know if they would have broke, but they were deforming for sure, and the ride SIGNIFICANTLY changed when I added just the end links. I eventaully added the bar too, I dont take chances on sway bars and stabilizers. You got what you pay for on these items thats for sure.

I am surprised you got that bar kit without links. You must have gotten it early on. I did sell a few without link sets in the beginning. But then when we started braking OEM links I changed that. Now links are required. My F3/ST/RS/RSS bar kit is heavier duty than the OEM BRP bar which comes on the RT (which is heavier than the stock F3 bar kit). I do not know what the stress tolerance for the OEM links are. But my F3 bar kit did exceed at least a few plastic OEM links.

I'd say that adding Elka's to your suspension is helping to control some lean and keeps the bar from doing as much work as it might with the stock shocks. Or, you may have just gotten an exceptionally good set of OEM links. Or, you don't ride hard enough to stress the suspension. I can tell you that the stock links stretch and compress a bit when stressed regardless of what bar you are using. The more the stress, the more the effect. This reduces, somewhat, the effectiveness of the sway bar as the links absorb some of the energy transfer the bar is attempting to accomplish. That is why some just buy the links to use with the stock bar kit. Many end up liking what the links do, want more of the same and come back and get the bar kit. If you already have the links. I will sell the bar kit without my link set.

I would recommend putting my link set on if for nothing more than the safety factor. On the other hand, you've made it this far. Have you inspected your links to see how they are doing?

If you would like to add the links let me know. I'll give you a break on them since you already have the bar installed. If nothing else, it would make me fell better.
