i think i stick with the OEM breakable once. I think its breakable for a reason and that is to prevent any frame damange.

i wouldn't worry about that. plenty of manufacturers use (or did use) all metal endlinks without repercussions. you'd probably shear the bolts on the endlinks before you bend the frame. i think they're (acura's) are built cheaply to save money.

i mean if you think about it, the truth is they're "good enough", just not great.

and before any frame dammage occurs because of a stronger linkit your gonna bend a lot more before anything happens.

Hey, if possible, could you take a comparison picture of the OEM link and the aftermarket link? I want to see if it's shorter and by how much. Thanks.

I've never had an OEM end link break on me. I've broken the bracket that the end link connects to.

yeah, my local dealer (DCH Heart Acura) swears up and down those end links break all the time when you're putting the bolts back on.
