FSB - adjustable endlinks?

[jmz135]

Considering buying an M3 or H&R FSB - I'm also going to be lowering my car on coils. Do I need to get the adjustable endlinks or will I be ok reusing the stock ones?

I'm lowered on coils with an eibach sway bar and after about 3k I have a clunking/squeaking noise up front. I ordered some whiteline adjustable end links from auto anything for $101 shipped bc they had a 15% off promo. Figured for that price it's at least worth it and an upgrade from the stocks bc mine seemed stretched. Hopefully that's what my clunking noise is from. You may be able to get away with the stocks but they might wear prematurely bc they will be too long.

You'll be fine reusing OEM.

Adjustable endlinks are really only beneficial if you plan to corner balance.

hmm ok guys, thanks for the input. I'm probably only lowering by about 1" anyway so I can probably get away with the stocks.

I also have Eibach sways, I had a clunking noise that got progressively worse. My end links were loose, I must have tightened them without a load on the wheels. My mechanic found it when he took the car for a ride after the alignment. I would check to see if yours are tight before you install the new ones, I'm not sure you will get any benefit whatsoever from adjustable end links.

Cool man. Alright I'll check that out although I was getting a clunk even before the eibach sway bar. Could also be my control arm bushings. I have a friend with a shop here that can corner balance my car so might as well let him do that too

Stock ones are fine if there is nothing wrong with them. Otherwise replace them with some HD versions or the adjustable ones to get your anti roll bar to its most optimum geometry.
