Lowered - ARB end links Question

If this has been asked before, I'm sorry but couldn't find anything.

I'm on BMWP springs. Many on here are on Eibach or other springs that lower more than my BMWP springs.

Have most of you changed out your arb end links? There is a thread on the E90 forum about this with a good post showing suspension geometry.

On a Bilstein B12 kit (eibachs), and have stock end links. Agreed that you really should use adjustable links, just have never got around to ti. About 50K kms on the suspension as is with no issues related to the ARB links or bushings.

Thanks. If you've had no issues and are probably a little more lowered than my car, I should be ok. I don't have a rear arb as my car was originally non sport.
When I get around to doing the rear arb, I'll look into adjustable end links.

Right - that would be the right thing to do if you're getting a new bar anyway....

If you have lowered your car and want to get the anti roll bar back to its most ideal geometry, then adjustable endlinks are a must. The end of the bar moves up with the links as a car is being lowered, you will want to extend the links to get the geometry back.
