Adjustable end links

E90ALLMANUAL · 10-19-2015, 01:35 PM

Is there any benefit using adjustable sway bar endlinks with sport suspension and a 27 mm front sway bar?

feuer · 10-19-2015, 02:35 PM

no, only on aggressively lower cars.

So the factory set up has no preload?

no, it does not.

Mine is lowered close to 50mm with a B16IRC suspension.
I used a set of adjustables on mine, but has changed now since the adjustables did sqeek(?) a lot.
Could'nt stand the noise!! Now im using some shorter non-adjustable ones.

front > longer (if on lowering springs, stock length on coilovers)
rear > shorter

it is just how the geometry is and what is required for it for function properly

I thought when I cross referenced part numbers the non-sport and sport endlinks were the same Part numbers, which means there would be some pre-load on the bar.

Wouldn't adjustable endlinks be beneficial if OP is going to corner balance, even on a stock setup? I realize this is overkill...but, who knows
