Nice. Did you do the rear also?I looked at Corksport's adjustable end links. They look like a quality item.
I felt like they were a bit pricey for a street car end link and went with maXspeedRods. I have about 5,000 miles on them. No issues.
They are a bit cheaper if ordered from maXspeedRod's web site.

Yes, front and rear.Nice. Did you do the rear also?
I took a leap of faith and bought the maXspeedRod's from Amazon. the description gave the range. I had measured the front and rear links. If they didn't fit, I could return.I never considered other brands not made for the car. And there are separate front and rear parts.
@AL Cx5 what was your process in selecting those? Did you measure the stock ones and find something comparable?
Why? I'm looking at other brands, for example Godspeed. But they come in specific sizes, rather than with three to choose from. They are cheaper, too. If I can skip the parts I don't need and save money then that's a win. That's ok, I will just go measure them.I encourage you buy Corksport and be happy.
Good luck my friend.
Seems like your rear swaybar is at a weird angle... It should be horizontal not vertical. Also from the scratches on the driveshafts, looks like there is som rubbing happening. Something you might want to look into.Maybe this will help.

True. I just like to really push on turns and a drive into the hill country occasionally so get into some twisties. Figured do it now instead of probably later since everything will be apart.Keep in mind that sway bars effectively add stiffness, and lowering springs also add stiffness. For a street car, I doubt you need both. I'm going to skip sway bars for now since ride quality is already noticeably more firm.

I may at some point try the coilovers mainly for adjusting the shock part of it. Really surprised to hear how much a difference in weight there was with them.I have Megan Racing front and rear sway bars. They have 2 settings. The firm setting is noticeably less body roll. Night and day difference over oem S bars.View attachment 329293
My parts shipped today for warranty on BC Racing coilovers. I'll lower 2.5" front and 2" rear. Or change it up if I don't like it.
The stiffness is adjustable with these dampers/shocks. The front assembly is close to 30# lighter than oem. Reducing unsprung weight will be more responsive. I could tell a difference in handling response with 10# lighter per wheel.
This route costs a bit more than springs and new shocks. But the system works together and has a wide range of adjustment.
On my other cars, I was know to firm up the shocks when I wanted to drive sporty and soften them for road trips.
Dang. Mine at 2" is pretty low. Enough to scrape on some curbs and driveways.My parts shipped today for warranty on BC Racing coilovers. I'll lower 2.5" front and 2" rear. Or change it up if I don't like it.
