If you've lowered your MKV/MKVI/Eos, the stock sway bar end links are too short to keep the front sway bar in its stock alignment. This results in preload, which effects transient handling.

Made of lightweight and anodized aluminum with sturdy steel ball joints, the Whiteline end links provide up to an additional inch of length adjustment. If you drive lowered, don't compromise handling by preloading the sway bar, or worse, leaving it detached. Whiteline and ECS have your solution.
