Post Adjustable Endlinks

Okay guys give it to me straight. I bought some BC Coilovers that came with adjustable endlinks. I install the endlinks to the same length as the stock one (well close to stock). And now I want to do alittle of adjustment. So the taller endlink the softer it gets and the smaller the endlink the stiffer it gets right? Yes and No answer please. I check aeound in forum and nobody givung a straight answer.

If you're using stock sway bars I wouldn't play around with them too much. Depending on how much you are lowered the end links are used to take preload off your sway bar due to the new geometry created by lowering the car.

No.

With the car on the ground adjust the end links so there is no preload (twist) in the arb.

The reason for the endlinks is if you lower your car a bunch you risk the endlink contacting the LCA. So you can shorten it to gain clearance. There is not tuning to be done with them for performance gain.
