H-Sport comp + endlinks?

Hi all, I'm about ready to order an H-Sport comp rear swaybar and would like to know your recommendations on endlinks. I'm probably going to be running it on the softest setting most of the time and it's for street use for now. Do I need to upgrade the endlinks or will the stock ones work? I've heard a few mixed opinions on various other threads but I'd like to get everyone's views together for an answer. Thanks.

I have the H-Sport Comp. rear bar for several months and a couple of autox's.
Stock end links. No problems so far

Mine has been fine for the month and a half of hard motoring.

Stock endlinks should be just fine for your setup and driving style. I track with stock endlinks and almost every other suspension mod available. No problems thus far.

The stock endlinks will work fine for all street applications with upgraded swaybars front and/or rear.

On the track at high speeds especially with coilovers it is possible to stress/flex the stock endlinks or permanently bend them.

For those with coilovers that need to cross balance, adjustable endlinks are needed to adjust one side of the front and rear swaybars to minimize any load put on the swaybar once balancing is achieved using adjustment of corner heights.

Those that use coilovers for street use and don't need to corner balancing can use stock endlinks and be fine.
