    Should I just go with OEM? I'm going to do the bushings while I'm at it. 2019 TRD OR, 28mm bushings, right?

    Anyone got torque specs for the end links?

    I live in Phoenix. You take the freeway everywhere here. If your suspension is beefed up, try without it. Rides so much softer and the body roll is fun.

    Else, whatever endlinks should be fine. I've had decent luck with Moog in the past, but their quality seems to fluxuate.

    I'm in Phoenix as well. I'll think about it. I didn't want to run into other problems like UCA hitting coilovers etc

    Good deal. It takes about 15 minutes to remove. A quick test to see how you like it. Removing it will not make the UCA hit anything if it doesn't already. The biggest issue is generally the sway bar/links hitting the coils. Removing it just lets the front end operate fully independently. Huge ride quality increase but overall still feels pretty stable unless you barrel into the inside lane on the i10 eastbound under the stack near the airport doing 85. Then it's a little sketch lol.

    Guess I'll just go OEM :)

    Those are going in the bookmark folder "Eventually maybe".
    So, anyone got torque specs handy or should I just go with "tight as shit"

    I have a brand new set of MOOG end links, I'm not going to use.
    I left the swaybar off to see how it drove and never put it back on.

    Make an offer and you can have them.

    Honestly I'm probably just going to go OEM. You can get them for $110 a piece right now which isn't bad. Thanks though.
