So like many others on here, during spring/shock install, i had to cut off the sway bar end links to get them off. So of course i need new ones. I would like to upgrade if i can so next time i wont have this problem. Does anyone know if ones from a st185 would work, as in they being a similar length? I have found great ones here:

GOOD NEWS FOR US! i got my answer by emailing them:
I was wondering if you made sway bar end links for the 94-99 celica. If not, can they be custom ordered? They are very similar to your MR2 and st185 ones. link to picture of sway bar end links: http://www.lewfx.com/6GC/end_links.jpg the center bar from weld to weld is about 7.7 cm thank you, Asher Yap From: David Hawkins Club MR2 <orders@clubmr2.com> It appears to be the same as the ST185 rear link. That's just over 3" between the ends and the ends face the opposite directions. Which means.... Cut away at those old crusty ones, cause now you can order these stronger ones with a nut on bolt design so youll never have to use that hex key ever again! I just ordered some, both for $75 shipped. Ill let you all knwo how they work out. This post has been edited by orvillescelica: Aug 14, 2006 - 12:24 PM -------------------- Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it... |

Sorry for the delay with this guys. I got the sway bar end links on friday but was busy all weekend. Ill try to install them later this week, but as you can see, there is no reason why they shouldnt be a direct fit. In addition, you can see they are somewhat adjustable in length although i havent tried it. They are much more beefy than the stock ones as well as better constructed without that stupid allen key point. There is an actual bolt part to hold!!
