Bc coilover end links measurement needed

Hey everyone, I recently bought a set of used bc coilovers without the adjustable sway bar end links because the previous owner stated they were worn out. Time came for the install and obviously the sway bar would not work with the stock end links. So I just removed the sway bar all together for the time being since its winter here in Canada and my car does not see much action. Now what I would love to know is anyone who has or installed bc coilovers what is the measurement of the adjustable end link length? Reason I'm asking is I'd like to order a set for my e90 but would rather get a set from turnermotorsports or ecs just beacause I've heard many people complain about the bc end links. Any help would be great. And yes I could just go out in minus temps and crawl under the car and put the sway bar on and then take a measurement from the sway to the strut but I don't like winter to much and I hope the community could help me out. Thanx again.

I think every setup is different the links need to be adjusted whilst the car is on the ground which means the length of the links depend on how low/high the car is .. correct me if I'm wrong

Yes you are correct, the sway bar must be kept parallel in respect to the ground and then u take a measurement from the hole that ataches the end link to the hole on the strut. BUT I never received the end links that were adjustable so instead of ordering from bc id prefer to order elsewhere but there are multiple ranges of adjustable end links. So if I know the measurement the BC adjustable end links can adjust to I would have a better idea what size I need. And BC has not been able to tell me what there ones measure at. I may have to purchase them and then measure myself and then go with another source. Didn't want to resort to that though

Yea.. I'm in the same boat pretty much, but I'm in early stages .. just ordering all I need so come spring I want to put everything in without any headaches if possible. Anything on the rear that should be tackled too ?

For the rear I would go with some camber arms, I've seen a lot of people running meagan rear camber arms. It just gives u a little more adjustment than what the stock eccentric bolt can do.

Well someone out of the thousands on this board please give us two guys a hand please! Heck even if a sponsor who carries bc brand for e90s could measure for us would be awesome!

Im not sure what youre looking for exactly.

Ive had a couple sets of adjustible endlinks.

I just purchased a set of Bimmerworlds though in e90 non M size. I believe they adjust from 11-12.5
