    front sway bar endlinks, how much to trim??

    the FFR manual states for the front sway bar endlink to "trim as needed" or something similar. Does anyone know for a 818c with the koni yellows how much each side needs to cut down?

    Mount your sway bar then thread the ends onto the rods until buried. Mount the lower link to the control arm and see how much needs to be trimmed to make it bolt up. You want it to sit in the middle of this red area below. As far as I know it just needs to not hit the upper link or the shock. Mine were different lengths if I remember correctly.

    Thanks! I'll just place the sway bar ends there, then measure the total needed to cut off of each side.

    I finally cut my endlinks today! I work slow... Anyways, I bottomed out the suspension and sway bar until the bar hit the chassis and measured. Then cut 1 3/16" off of each end, then installed.
