K (Kork?) Sport Coilovers

[wsoelivan]

Well at this point I can't even consider coilovers until I get endlinks sorted, and preferably camber arms. The oem rear links are nott suitable for dropped rides at coil over level. They are barely suitable for h&r. Thanks for the feedback though.

Is this the case with a thicker aftermarket sway bar?

Yes. And you will preload your links to the max if they dont break with a drop like that

Here we can see the comparison pics of the end links position on normal and lowered cx5:

Is this what had happened to your broken end links?

Except in the rear, the link becomes even more angled.

You couldn't make, like a triangular plate with two bolts at the bottom of the triangular shape, bolt these to the two holes on the sway bar and the top hole on the triangular shape, mount it to the factory end link.
Or, you could make it square and add a couple of holes at the top part too, this way it's adjustable.
I'm not familiar with the end link, specially how it is mounted. It has a ball joint with a tapered surface? They sell tapered reamers, if that is needed.

the end studs aren't tapered.

Yea, I'm actually more concerned win having the bar at that angle, than the end link being vertical. There is not a lot of clearance above the subframe when the bar swings to vertical and I don't want to hear the occasional knock. I'll probably measure tomorrow.

I was thinking of something like this:
