I need to get new rear end links, would there be a huge difference between oem and aftermarket?
I found these aftermaket ones on ebay are they worth it?

The OEM end links are pieces of shit. They break real easy especially if you have a bigger sway bar. The ones in that ebay link look just as bad as the OEM ones. Get moog or deeza end links. I have deeza EP3 end links with a RSX-S 21mm rear sway bar on my car. They're a lot beefier and stronger than the OEM ones. I got them from here:

If you wanna spend a bit more you can get Hotchkis links and they are pretty crazy really strong. I'm using it with my progress sway bar front and rear.

Unless you're running a huge rear sway bar (hotchkiss 27mm or ASR 32mm) and/or track or autox your car daily there really is no need to spend $130 on endlinks, that's just overkill/bling
