Rear sway bar, with Corcksport springs

[tibimakai]

I'm thinking about replacing the rear sway bar on my car, but I don't know how to deal with the adjustable end links, since I know that Chris had issues with his, with much lower drop.
Any input, would be appreciated.
I have measured the end link's rod diameter and it's very close for a M8 thread's diameter. M8 needs .315 Dia and it is .317.
I'm thinking about cutting out a portion from the rod and cut a left and right thread. Make a hex "body" and get nuts to lock everything in place.
What I don't know is, how long should be the end link and how much should I cut out?
Anybody has any experience with this, who has the Corcksport springs?

According to Corksport, with the C/S Springs AND C/S sway bar, you should not have an issue (here). I would ask them this question on their product page just to be sure though. If you want to modify your links, you can get a new set for about $60-$70. Just keep in mind the endlink bolt is held on with a plastic housing.. e.g it's susceptible to crack, like one did on me (although that was partly b/c of the angle it was at). I'd have to double check but I believe my shaft was cut to 110mm, the Autoexe shaft was about 80mm. Actually as it is, my shaft could be about 5mm shorter, but not worth getting it shaved at this point.

I will talk to them. Thanks for that link.

I have talked to them and they say, that the factory end links should work with the Corcksport springs.
"Tibor,

You can use the factory ones! We designed the sways to be used with stock equipment!


Let us know if you have any questions!

Well, there you go. Your s***'s going to handle very nicely after you add the bar; corner a lot better (you are fwd?). I'm thinking about getting the front sway bar actually..
