No one has to change their endlinks if they lower their cars, it will work fine. But being that most of us are dropping our cars more than the i guys, it might be important to revisit the situation of endlink replacement since it more than likely is causing a lot of load on the front sway, the rear not as much.
UltraRacer and myself aren't good examples of finding the right length since we adjust our endlink collars. Here is what kind of database is needed for the xi's to get a general idea of what length endlinks are needed. 1.) What brand coilover/strut (Since some might have different height endlink mounting points) 2.) How much you drop your car (Easiest measurement is from wheel center to wheel well. i.e 13.5inches) 3.) Length of endlink needed for no preload. Example (These aren't real) Brand: TC Klines Drop: 14 inches center hub to wheel well Endlink: 12 inch Endlink Brand: KWV1 Drop: 12 inches center hub to wheel well Endlink: 13.5 inch Endlink |

I got them from VR Speed Factory. At the time they were running a special. You would have to contact Tiago@VRSF to see if he is still offering that price.

I was wondering if the ST coilovers is any different than the KW V1 coilovers in terms of dampening and ride quality? I've heard ST coilovers are made by KW V1. Only difference I've read about so far is the KW are stainless and won't rust like the ST.
