adjustable endlinks are required when dropping a car right?

i have adjustable coilovers and am dropped a little under 2 inches and i notice the position of my sway bars F/R are way off, they are angled a little more upward then before. to even this out would i need a set of adjustable endlinks to even out the sway bars?

They are required if you wish to corner balance your car. Also, they would allow you to reset the angle of the bar when lowering your car.

I found that there was enough slop in the mounting holes for the OE endlinks to work on my cornerbalanced car, they slid right on, no binding

Team is a good man and always gives good advice, but adding these endlinks made a very noticeable difference on my car...I'm not sure why, but the left to right (and right to left) transitions are way smoother than before...the car is more tossable and settles more easily and has less "jouce". Just my $0.02.

Yea, our joins are smoother than stock. They are polished, not like stock have threads on them. Also our rubber join are tieder, stock getts loose after a year. Wish can test these out on my 8, but for now its apex seals are toasted.

Bump from the past.

I have had these on my car for awhile now. The black portions are all rusted up. Anybody with these experience the same?

I'll snap a pic tonight and post it. It looks like the black is only a thin coating. Don't let this stop you from getting these, or similar. I was able to set my car up perfect for corner balancing with them.

This might sound like a dumb question but I got a set of adjustable agency power endlinks. I thought that they were adjustable in order to be same length as stockers? If u tighten them all the way will the car drop? I need to know before I install them on sat. Haha. I have tanabe lowering springs in now

They are used when you lower your car. Lowering your car will change the preload on your sway/stabilizer bars. Using adjustable endlinks puts that preload back to original.

my only concern is how do I get them back to a stock or a good preload setup? Get the car realigned. It sucks I have these and my front sway sitting in my bedroom floor waiting to be installed

No need for alignment. Look at these pictures:

That's definatly helpful. But.... How do I tell where the position of the link is supposed to by just looking at it? And I beleive I need to adjust the links before the install

I had mine professionally installed and setup with my Zeal coilovers. They adjusted them while on the car. Getting the car corner balanced is also something to consider for those with coilovers.

I just ordered these endlinks, as well as some Megan coilovers and Progress front and rear sways. I can't wait to get them.

I had the same rust problem up here. There was not one area of them that wasn't covered in rust.

Would not recommend them to anyone who is driving through winter where they put salt on the roads.

Heim joints will work well, but they are exposed to the weather and corrosion. I like these as the joint is covered.

I hate everything that EVO-R does. I will never forget his fiasco with the fender vents.

Yeah, living in the Sunshine State has it's perks for sure. I sometimes feel like Steven King in that movie where he started growing green moss and grass all over his body.. Remember that? LOL Living 30 minutes from the Pacific in the Northwest is way different from the warm Gulf Stream waters around Florida...

biatch

I'm going to see if I can clean them up a bit tonight. Structurally they are OK, just rusty.

I'll bring back the love.

I just bought these from Jay. Good customer service and the product is top notch.

My car already had Tein Basic Coilovers and Progress sway bars but these endlinks really made the steering response more crisp. It's almost instant now.

I spent all day at an open autocross session and these were a noticeable improvement.

c'mon man, they're no more crisper than good OE endlinks I can't even tell the difference between OE and heim joint endlinks, the only benefit is the adjustable length if needed

somebody told me the other day they can't get him to respond
