Eh if I replace parts in the suspension, I always go with new links/bushings.
You can reuse exhaust gaskets but I opted not to =P
So basically $185 for a set of SS sways with bushings and endlinks. Still not a bad price tbh lol

Well considering the SLP RS Content card mentions that they include revised endlinks and stiffer bushings verses standard Camaro components -- I would definitely get updated ones at the same time you upgrade the bars...

Yeah I agree. I don't really like the idea of reusing parts on my car and newer parts will always be a better way to go. Maybe those endlinks are about ready to go heh. Ya never kno.

Both my front endlink bolts broke when I removed them to do my front shocks on my RS -- broke right below the nut/top washer. It was rusted up real good.

Try some PB Blaster next time. I live by that stuff in my garage lol. It's saved me many bolts and stripped studs in the past. I've had bolts so rusted on some cars that you gotta do it several times in a few days to get them to loosen up but they eventually come free.

^ I usually use it, can't recall if I did that time -- regardless, the endlinks aren't expensive, and after 8 yrs -- they were ready to be replaced anyhow.

From the RS thread, we also know 32/19 mm sways were optional content on the RS and I'm sure Z28s too...
