PSA on SPL Rear Endlinks - not a direct fit currently

[Azian6er]

Another PSA for those upgrading the rear endlinks on the a90:

The SPL replacement pieces were Not a direct swap. The bolt diameters on the endlinks were larger than OEM diameter and I had to drill out holes on both the OEM sway bar as well as the knuckle. I had to use a 15/32” (12mm) drill bit to accommodate. (Stock bolt size is 10mm)

It kinda threw me because I have every other SPL arm / bushing on the car and all Have been direct swaps.

The unit itself is beefy AF, no problems there.

I had no trouble fitting mine to the front & rear with Cusco bars

I put mountain bike tire inner tubes over them with cable ties to protect the rod ends from dust, grit & water on my road car

See, the fronts fit the oem bar no problem.

the rears however did not. Which is odd because people would more likely swap out their front sway bars before the rears in this platform.

I think it was just an oversight because I cannot square the fact that the fronts fit the oem bars yet the rears do not.

How does it feel with those SPL parts? I’m thinking of getting SPL setup.
