So i went to get my car inspected the other day and the mechanic (a friend) said I needed new rear stabilizer links along with a front outer left tie rod. Dealer wants $132ea and $97 for these parts respectively, but I see them on ECS for $37. Haven't had the car long so I haven't really bought any parts. Are the ECS parts of lesser quality or are dealers just that overpriced? Basically just want a heads up about ECS before I spend the money. Thanks.

 

i seen alot of people buy from www.ecstuning.comand i havent really seen any complaints in quality

 

ecs ordinarily sells parts that are oem or better... link which ones youre looking at and someone will help you out

 

ecs is the ****, except for their shipping

So I'm looking at the rear sway bar links for the left and right.

 

Those ones are metal, compared to the plastic OE rear sway bar links. The quality should be o.k., but it won't hurt to ask the sales guy over the phone if they have had any fitment issues or returns on them. My gut says go with it, or search around.
Looks like a fun one-hour maintenance/upgrade if the old rearsway bar links are shot. I'll have to check mine out, but Ihaven't decided ifI'm going to get a completesway bar kit yet or not, and I don't want to havespares lying around thatI'll probably neverneed again.
