I did lots of testing after getting it all installed and its even more quiet than before. I did change my endlinks to shorter ones. I dont know though for your car, might need shorter ones in the front. I would do some research on that if i was u.
I do have a problem with my steering wheel being out of alignment but i gotta get the suspension aligned hopefully itll be fixed.
Let me know how it goes buddy!

Umm I used the MSP 7.5 inches factory end links in the back. Was like 40$. And the Moog 10.5 inches from the 2002 ford escape AWD for the front. Was like 55$.
Wow looks great man! I think you gotta let the springs settle, looks like it should be a bit lower.
Time to paint the other parts to match
On a side note, just sent payment for a 03.5 msp spoiler, can't wait
Yeah it has been getting lower with the days. Felt a big difference after going to Quebec City two days ago. Was around 600km of driving and when I got there, it felt different to get out of the car or sit in
For the paint, it will have to wait. I will be doing my rear fenders beginning of next summer and then I'll be painting it. Was thinking of doing the same color or maybe the MSP Titan.
Sweet, should look great on your car.

Oh okay I see I'm guessing should be the same but I will look for one that is shorter then mines. I will post a pic later to see what I'm talking about my endlink hitting. Thanks for the info man.
By the way, is ur problem similar to this?

Adjustable endlinks are designed to be rebuilt often. The AWR ones were designed for track use and those get replaced often, the heims and joints get clunky and you lose the ability to adjust them easily after one winter.

That's good news, you should post new pics of it settling.
I got a question for you, when you installed your msp spoiler was it 4 holes in total? Did you use the marking on the inside of the trunk to drill? (There's like 4 small indents on the inside of the trunk). That's pretty much where mine are drilled so I'm hoping the msp spoiler is a straight bolt on with my regular sedan spoiler

Here is the picture of the problem im having. this is for the right side only but im having problems on the left side too. except the left side doesnt make any noise anymore going over bumps or hitting nasty potholes. i belive i need longer endlinks? to prevent the bar coming up and hitting the other bar? lol
