New to me BC Racing Coilovers - Adjustable EndLinks
Hi guys,
Im in the process of installing the new to me BC racing coilovers and I have reached the point of installing the adjustable endlinks. The previous owner did not use them, so they are fresh out of the packaging. However, I dont know how "long or short" to make them. Do I simply make them the same length as the OEM ones, or is there more to it than that? Also, I noticed that the "heads" on the new end-links do not rotate/pivot like the OEMs. Is this cause for concern? Should I just put the OEMs back on or buy upgraded purpose built end-links? Thanks for the help. |

The OE links should be correct given you don't have an aftermarket bar and the mounting points on the damper are in the same location and height as the factory damper.
Replace the OE links if they are worn, as they tend to cause noise if so.

I think that if he has BC Racing coilovers he is also lowered... so longer links would be better to keep the bar in the same position as was planned on stock vehicle!

Have a look at these adjustable ones with additional 1.25" of length for stock or lowered vehicles:

I run bc coilovers with aftermarket adjustables endlinks with an m3 front bar.
If I recall correctly the bar needs longer endlinks to relieve any/all flex caused by lowering the car. It'll be a big difference because your bar wont work properly until you get the adjustable ends. |
