Are the adjustable? If not you should set your coils to stock height (provided the swaybar link mount is positioned similar to OEM) or get adjustable ones. Also make sure both front tires are off the ground at the same time or it will be impossible as the other side will put load on your swaybar and they will never line up proper.

Yeah there adjustable since they gave me the two keys to turn the 3 things sorry I don't know what there called. Dam you think that was the problem? I jacked up the side only the front and back on one side because I was gonna do a tire rotation at the same time

I think, what way1 is saying is, is end link adjustable? You cannot use stock end links for aftermarket coils... well, you can, but it's not recommended.

i got Megan racing coilovers ez from a guy on Craigslist there adjustable but didn't come with end links that are adjustable can I put them on until the new ones come in?

[bryansuriel3]

I think there ez I know that they have knobs at the top for dampening

It sounds to me like the issue is that your sway bar isn't moving so you can't get the end links in with the new coilover in place?

The swaybar is connected on both sides of the car so you need to lift both sides into the air at once and disconnect both sides. Once the end links are disconnected on both sides, you can then rotate the sway bar up and down. Rotate it until you can get your end link with the coilover in it. Don't tighten anything until you've got it in on both sides.

Yep, like others have said, you need to have both front (or rear) wheels in the air. The sway bar is a spring that connects the right and left sides.

You sir make a good point. I thought he already have both front suspension up... but if it goes side by side, then yeah, sway bar won't move.

@bryansuriel3 Yeah I was talking about the swaybar endlinks being adjustable. If you lift both wheels on the front (or back) at the same time you should beable to get the endlinks to match up if its close to stock height, however you are going to mess with the preload on the swaybar so keep that in mind.

Thanks guys so the stock sway end link is okay for now till the a new one comes in? And also will I need a wheel alignment after this?

At stock height it "should" be okay. And absolutely you need an alignment

[Lynxis]

I ran stock endlinks just fine for several months after I put in my coils, it's totally fine but then, I'm only 1 inch lower than stock.

Thanks guys for the info!
