    wait, are we talking about end links or sway bars haha :confused:

    I've got adjustable end links on mine, you just shorten the to compensate for the amount lowered!

    I need to chime in.

    Swaybar modifications (going to a softer/stiffer swaybar, adding or removing a swaybar, or changing endlink lengths/angles) will change the roll stiffness of the axle where the modification was made.

    This always makes a difference in how the car handles.

    ^^^ On mine, since it's so slammed, I just made the end links as short as possible. I think it's guess and check though, just trying to get the sway bar in it's original orientation. But any adjustment closer to stock is better than no adjustment.

    You should "chime in" more often James!

    The whole forum is slow, or just loading the sig? I find most times it's just stuck on the first frame lol.

    You think you can make a set of those? Well good luck then, because that's what the professionally made adjustable ones are gonna look like.
