Default Shorter Endlinks with H&R springs ???

would i need shorter endlinks for H&Rs .. i read they are a tad bit lower than the Mopars .
Also i might as well get the PT front sway and rear ACR sway bars as well right ?

if I'm not mistaken, you want to keep the sway bar "level" ... by lowering the car, it increases the angle of the sway bar, which then makes it not-so level

shorter endlinks will "push" on the sway bar less, therefore decreasing the angle & getting it back to where it should be

best bet would probably be to get one of the ES endlink bushing sets thats close to stock if not then a little shorter & then cut the metal spacer shorter to get the desired height out of it ... the only problem with that is the threads on the bolts aren't the length of the bolt, so if you cut too much off then you might run out of threads

hopefully that helps ... I'm sure someone can chime in with what endlinks they've used with mopar (or similar dropped) springs

in all honesty, you'd probably be fine with the stock end links ... but for the cost of ES endlinks ($15 at autozone, advance auto, etc.) you might as well do it right while you've got everything apart already

hell, I know you'd be fine ... I haven't even had sway bars in my car for over 2 years now & my car feels just fine

I have a base neon with Vogtland springs which I am told are basically the same company about the same drop. Get shorter end links. Did not know how bound up my rear suspension was until I replaced the the rear end links. Performance is still there (Almost) but ride is WAY better.

Just find out how much shorter level would be and take your old on in and get one that is that much (close anyway) shorter. About an 1.5" drop then get one about 1.25 maybe 1.5" shorter and you'll be close.
