    Do I need new front end links?

    Hello, I added a MS3 rear bar to my 5 this summer when I refreshed my suspension and it is a great addition. However, it makes me now want some more rigidity in the front of the car. Can I use OEM end links or are they not stiff enough for the speed three front bar? Thanks everyone, -Jordan
