I guess if one should change the height of their car, they should change the swaybars as well.

What I am posting about is Coils may affect the end link size. I have called KW, H&R, and a few gurus and so far Its either my endlinks are wrong from FCP, my swaybar mounting has some how been affected or the end links are a tad to long. Thats where I am at

Might have a solution for my application. See in this picture the hole to the right of the link...To get these to stop rubbing or what not i am going to put the link forward and make the sway full firm! that should solve some of the issue. Still looking into adjustable links

lol! nice. I thought it was just a paint chip. Thanks
The OEM sway bar has 2 holes for the end links? I could have sworn it just had one when I took mine out. Aftermarket?
