This is what I think needs to happen for a workable sway bar end link kit for the 370Z/G37. Something similar to what SPL has to offer for their end link kits for the 350Z/G35. But, they need to be shorter for the 370Z/G37. They are 1/2" rod ends high misalignment with a necked ball and with a stepped 1/2" to a 3/8" bolt. They should be a little less than 4 inches in the rear and less than 3 inches in the the front. The current SPL's 350Z/G35 rears are really close and maybe need to be shortened 1/4". Maybe a 3/8" high misalignment male and female rod ends for the front would do the trick for the 370Z/G37.

very well said, these look questionable from a design standpoint. If I'm not mistaken, they look like they were pieced together from generic female and an male ball joint rod ends from McMaster... and theres nothing wrong with that, except for the asking price if that is really the case considering the joints go for $20 each on average... just my 2 cents.
4 links in the set = 8 rod ends = $160 (on average)
Looks like the turnbuckle and spacers are manually machined so this may not be too unreasonable.

I took my favorite onramp rather aggressively one day and the car understeered like mad. It almost understeered into the ditch! I knew something was screwed up with the suspension but didn't know what. I called the Infiniti dealer and asked them if they could inspect the suspension. They were going to charge me 100 bucks just to inspect it! So lo and behold I took a look through the wheel well and saw the sway bar just hanging there loose! The end link was cracked and the bolt was gone.

try shooting hotchkis an email (maybe compensation? maybe an incentive for them to develop endlinks??)
what did you end up doing? bought a new set of oem endlinks?
