Finally got my adjustable sway bar end link project done. With the roughly 1.5” drop from the H&R coils my goal was to move the bar ends the same amount. The shortest rear link I could find will only let me adjust it 1”...close enough. The front I got the full 1.5” but I do NOT recommend it unless you can find a 11.5” center/center end link with a 1/2” diameter stud. You could make it happen with heim joints but I didn’t want the NVH increase that comes with them. The closest I could get was 12mm so I machined some spacers to tighten it up and had to drill out the frame and swaybar holes big enough to fit the spacers....not an easy task with a hardened swaybar. I burned up some expensive bits making it happen. The rear bar uses 10mm studs and the PN in the pic is a drop in replacement.
I’m just a glutton for punishment and had to fight through it. Before anyone asks this is not required...I just like to play.

Do you notice any difference?
I doubt I will...it’s just an OCD thing for me. I honestly haven’t driven it 30 miles since I put them on.
