Many people use and like them. There are a few options available now including whiteline where there are adjustable front and rears, but they are a heavy and stiff bar...I've got a set of these for my build, and haven't tried them yet.

Factory endlinks work if you can save them. The hex key usually strips out and you end up cutting the old ones off. Adjustable aftermarkets are available from BIC Performance and are the only source that are "made" for us. Whiteline also has a set of non adjustable links that look different, but I've never heard anything bad about them. You also need to reinforce the rear mounting tabs either welding them up, or replacing them with new ones. BIC has replacement tabs, though I reinforced my stockers and I'll see how that goes.

don't install the plastic links though...they don't take well to the stiffer bars in many cases, and it is rumoured they went plastic as it was cheaper to snap them while under warranty than it was to replace the control arms when the tabs ripped off
