MSI Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 I am surprised so many people upgrade front roll bars ... hmmm ... how many of you have OEM shocks and springs ? I will wait until mid week to make up the additional part for aftermarket bars. -markl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I installed my MSI endlinks today. They are beautiful pieces and perfectly machined. However, MSI has stated in the past that the endlinks fit fine with the stock FSB. I have to disagree with that statement. I have the stock FSB and a JDM rear bar and the front endlinks are too narrow for even the stock FSB. I had to just barely get the nuts threaded on and then go from one side of the car to the other tightening them down incrementally to be able to get them snugged down evenly. Even with that whole dance, the bushings are more squished out than I would like to see. No noises so far, but I only drove around the block. This really is a part that ought to be redesigned. Each needs to be at least 1/2" thicker to fit correctly even with the stock FSB. No wonder that the slightly narrower than stock aftermarket FSB present signifigant issues when used with the MSI endlinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this is an issue with us because of our lowered ride height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydude Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hello Mark, I also am having some serious issues and would be glad to get on the bandwagon for a fix. I have an Outback XT and the front are so noisy and are binding like crazy. ~S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSI Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 Still here guys, I am somewhat bothered here ... It seams like every car is fitting differently .... are you guys measuring with the car jacked up in the air (wheels in full droop) or on the ground? -mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuxtaGT Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 ^ I agree, we need to get a consitent way to observe this. I had to do the back and forth dance to tighten the fronts. But, with the car on the ground, I can see the endlinks are aligned as they should be. No noises yet, at least 1000 miles in including rain.

LittleBlueGT Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I have to agree with the end-links being not wide enought for OEM. My COBB bar is about 1 inch shorter then my OEM bar, but I needed 2 inches worth of spacers to make it fit. So I would guess that an OEM bar needs the end-links to be 1/2 inch wider each. ps: my measurments are not exact, but fairly close.

LittleBlueGT Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Front is shorter? Yes, it is about an inch shorter. Just so you know what measurements we are talking about it is the width. OEM is somewhere around 42 inches and COBBs around 41. (It might be 39 and 38, I don't know but just giving you an idea of the measurements so you know which ones we are talking about) Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!

urfsin Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 ^^^yea, I just installed my Cobb RSB and I am very happy with the way it imporved the car. Now I want to do the front, but with these problems I will have to wait a bit. Slide It Sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlueGT Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 So now time for revised fsb... Not happening, according to COBB. Nobody with a LGT has had a problem with COBB FSB and stock end-links (including myself). Although it is not perfect it works just fine.

MSI Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 I will not be posting this week, out of town for SEMA. I think I will just make a new endlink for the legacy model only. That being said, anyone that has NEW links, I will exchange (less transport costs off course) or can ship the retrofit kit. Will be in touch when I get back. Retro fit kits are in production as I am leaving town. Cheers, -mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSI Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Guys, I am so sorry to take so long for this. I really owe a debt of gratitude to everyone for their patience. I have new bushings here (arrived today) that will start sending out with the kit shortly. Just getting caught up this week with BO'd parts, etc. -mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
