i just got my D2s and i put them on. so basically when i put the fronts coils on, the endlinks for the swaybar wouldnt fit properly so i switched it to the other side of the suspensions now they're bending. can anyone take pictures of how they placed their endlinks on with D2 coilovers?

are these OEM end links? if so they are side specific if you switch them they will break.

LOL LOL LOL

Dont we know that from first hand experience....


On a side note, the mounting perch of the D2 coilover for the endlink is adjustable, you can adjust it up or down and even spin it for angle correction. You need to take a step back and look at the big picture, make sure your using the correct link for each side, if you have to, mock up the stock strut so you can confirm you have the correct link for that side.

yeah but the thing is i dropped the front the lowest possible so the endlink is too long. well im taking it to the shop tommorow to see if they can do anything about it. i dont wanna go higher. im too flush. for now im just taking it easy on the driving. like...reallly easy...

how much did you drop it 5"

that thing has to be scraping the ground for that to happen. There are a few locals here running D2's and their front bumpers are about 4" off the ground and they never have an endlink problem. Your next option is to buy the adjustable ones from COMPLX.
