sway bar end links (rear)
Everywhere i look i see the part number for the energy suspension front end links, but i cant find what rear end links to use. the rears are a little shorter than the front. What part number do i want for the rear?

Re: sway bar end links (rear)
cool. all i needed to know. I couldnt find the info anywhere. all i could find was a complete swaybar kit with bushings for the swaybar, but it didnt give sizes for the endlinks.
thank you. I already bought them, just wanted to be sure before i put them on.

stock height for now. After doing the rear, i went to check a leak up front and noticed the front bushings were missing too. went and bought another set. when i lower the car i'll cut the spacers to make them smaller.

Re: sway bar end links (rear)
I've never read about shortening the end links when lowering -
1) how much gets cut off the spacer per inch of lowering?
2) why exactly? (intuitively I kinda understand, maybe having someone say it will help)

Re: sway bar end links (rear)
Yup, same ones fit both ends.
The reason you shorten them when lowering, is because if you don't, the sway bar ends get lifted up WAY above where they belong, rotating the sway bar significantly. Much like the control arms, they are supposed to be level when the car is sitting at rest. They shorten more or less inch for inch.
