Hello everyone! I'm going to be purchasing some coilovers and have a few questions about end links! I've done some searching around and I couldn't find a solid answer.

I want to be sure that I don't get an annoying clunk and don't have to tear my suspension apart, I want to try to do it right the first time! So I've heard rumors about needing adjustable end links when you're lowering your car, is it worth buying them? Or is there a more cost effective route? Anyone's input/experiences are welcomed and greatly appreciated

That's what I thought.. What end links are you using? (Assuming you're running BC's right now)

i used the endlinks that came with the bc's for the front if you look closely you can see the swaybar endlinks mounting tab is a lot lower on the coilovers then on the struts

the escape endlinks 10.5" stud to stud

the bc ones 8" stud to stud

What about the length on the back. I haven't figured that out for myself yet.

Which rear end links ?

I have bc coilovers and when I dropped it my sway bar rests on another bar. I have 6inch rear end links... I need something around 4 inches ... Anyone know which ones I could use
