Coilover install issues
 
I got a set of Megan Street Series coilovers and was installing them last night. Great DIY write up on here btw. Everything went smooth until it came to the Swaybar endlinks. The street series come with adjustable endlinks for the front. Problem arises when lowering the coilover... When you shorten the strut, the endlinks can't reach the holes they go in, even completely extended. I have noticed that some coilover systems don't come with adjustable swaybar endlinks and I'm a little confused how the factory ones are supposed to work with a shortened strut too... So I'm still looking at about a 1'' gap from tire to fender. Anyone else ran into this problem or have any advice??

Can't you swing the sway bar up? Pics?

I think I just figured it out... The endlink was also connected on the other side, so that might explain it... I feel like an idiot now lol It was also 2 in the morning haha

Yeah, it'll swing up. Just wasn't long enough to line up

Haven't tested it yet, just woke up and it's 100 degrees and about 60% humidity out right now :mad0260: Thanks for the replies though, will update later!
