    AWR Front Endlink Issue

    You will still break the stuff. If it hits and binds, it'll break.. Look at my pics. That is how you install them. This stuff is trial and error. Install, turn the steering and look for contact. Adjust, repeat, etc....

    P5 brakes for autocross

    The ceramic pads will probably be fine, I've got a set on my car currently. Though the hawk HPS was much better.

    Is this common in AWR endlinks?

    When the isn't any preload on it. I install one endlink and adjusted it to the correct length. Then go to the other side, install that one and adjust it to where the bar is in between going up or down.

    AWR Front Endlink Issue

    I kinda remember having issues, and there were two lengths or something you could get for them....Or you were sent the rear ones... Memory is fuzzy about it... It's been 3-4 years since I installed them (and almost 2 since I took em off!) I know the other issues with them breaking are a...

    Mods you regret

    Mine were noisy after about 80,000 miles. I had em in the rear also- on a AWR 21.5mm bar. The links didn't break, the frame mount did though.

    Mods you regret

    Hmm, not quite what I delt with. The length was perfect, the collar/spacers that were on the strut side did not space the hiem out far enough to clear the strut mount tab at steering lock (or less than lock) I'll try and dig out my old ass pics...might be tough since it was from 4 yrs ago.

    Mods you regret

    Kinda a moot point for me. I sold off a few of the mods and don't bother modding the P5 anymore. I have a 300hp country squire autox car and a 190E benz that I'm currently bulding for autox/track duty. Amusingly I just noticed a new thread about endlink trouble.... Guess nobody has searched...

    Is this common in AWR endlinks?

    you've got the wrong spacers. Back when the illuminas were released in 04 a lot of people were having the same issues. Unfortunately I don't have any pics of them at work or online. I believe the fix was Miata spacer/collars. I'd contact AWR and ask about it.
