If I get sway bars that have the 3 adjustable holes can I use stock end links and benefit from the adjustable holes or do I need aftermarket end links that adjust to be able to use the stiffer holes.

you can use stock endlinks however most aftermarket adjustable bars are considerably stiffer than stock bars and the stock endlinks will be the weak point and may bend/ break.

looks like those have 10mm studs, you need ones with 12mm studs. Only 2010 and 2011 used the smaller ones.

Idk where to see the mm but would these work? They list they came out end of 2013 so I would assume they are for older models. http://www.amazon.com/Hotchkis-25110...amaro+endlinks

Just searching on the part number most sites say it is for 2010-2011 so I would say no. What about BMR or detroit speed?

I heard BMR makes noise and I haven't really heard anything about Detroit speed.

I have a few hundred on amazon so im trying to order from there. I saw someone say the 1le end links are good. Would those be pretty decent compared to the SS stock ones? Here is the link. It doesn't have a picture but that is the part number for one of the end links. If you see anything that is on amazon I would be happy to order from there i have a hard time finding some stuff from BMR on there though.

OEM 1LE end links look pretty stout. Just get a set of those.

End Links are not going to make noise (unless they fail). The Fact that our End Links are more than twice as thick as Factory means they will be stiffer. Might transmit slight NVH. Sometimes being Stiffer means you hear things you didn't hear before.

All 13+ front endlinks are the same, therefore; you already have the 1LE/ZL1 endlinks and yes they are a good part. You can use the other settings on the sway bars with OEM endlinks or aftermarket. The benefit of aftermarket is you can adjust them to remove any potential preload in the bar.
