The "4 door Z" build (4DRZ)- 13 G37S 6spd sedan

I hope these Moog end links hold up. I called another distributor before I ordered and asked about the durability and he said they were better than stock and more "heavy duty." Right on the box it states that the end links are not designed to work with any type of lowered suspension or competition use. Well that is just super since the car is lowered and the whole point of these is to be used on the track. As a result, it may be a while before I post up a review regarding durability.

On a weird side note, I tried installing them in my garage last night and quickly realized it would be much easier to do at work with a lift so I bolted the passenger side back up (the side that clunks). Now there is no noise. WTF? Not sure how long this will last. The nuts were definitely not loose when I took them off. Weird

I think you are right, but it was funny to see that printed on the box after the guy on the phone stressed how much more "heavy duty" the Moog end links are compared to stock.

I get what you are saying, it was just funny that they cover their *** for their parts breaking after the rep gets done telling me they are heavy duty parts. There is no disclaimer like that on the "weaker" stock parts. I wish they had the "offroad use only" disclaimer as that would probably indicate the parts are badass and illegal to use on the street like any aftermarket exhaust parts.

So another day in the books of driving after reinstalling the nuts on the OEM passenger end link and still no noise. This is very strange as the nuts were extremely tight to take off. My tech who did the alignment swears it was the bearing that was popping in and out and not the bolt on the endlink moving due to the nut being loose. Any ideas?

Looks like perfect stance and fitment to me... even gap front to back, dropped but not slammed, flush and fitted with 19's that have a clean design. Moonlight White 6MT being the obvious connection, but you and I have very similar cars, 4DRZ. Fitted with different parts but following the same overall theme. Granted, you actually track that sedan, whereas I'm mostly a garage queen.

Thanks! Trying to keep it a bit of a sleeper. I've never had such a tough time finding strong & light wheels with the right offset that didn't break the bank and look decent. Glad that's over.

I forgot to mention something about the TSW's that is hard to see in the pictures. They have a really high polished face- almost look like chrome. The inside of the wheel and between the spokes is painted so it is a little easier to keep clean. So far they have not been too bad to keep clean.

Hey, I say nice things, too! It's a mixed bag.
A few years ago, Brad started this thread on my behalf, and reading your comment here, I was reminded that I'd noticed the exact same thing about the Interlagos.

I genuinely like the wheel for a number of reasons, but the chrome-like finish on the spokes was too much.

I knew I forgot something. They are 19x9 +32 with 245/40 in front and 19x9.5 +41 with 275/35 in the rear. Much larger than stock, but they actually weigh a bit less front and rear and I have a lot more brake caliper clearance (for those of you track guys).
