If your geometry is like mine and you have issues with your sway bar hitting your control arm, you will want shorter endlinks, and quite a bit shorter than OEM. There was some (red ones I think?) someone linked to somewhere that looked short enough to do the trick but I didn't save it. The universal whiteline ones would be a great alternative.

Now that said, regardless of your geometry situation you want the longest endlinks you can. This is to help with steering bind, since the strut rotates when steering and the endlink is attached to that point. Imagine a hypothetical, stupid short endlink just a couple inches long. You probably couldn't even go lock to lock at that point.

Lastly, one overlooked item is the size of the housing for the endlink bearing. If they are really large like the OEM ones are, this will impact your ability to run large negative front camber since they may hit the inside fender wall. This is especially true when steering and when severe enough, can lead to steering bind.
I had stupid short endlinks (whiteline generic short version) and when I would turn the wheel all the way the steering wheel would rubber band back about 90 degrees.

Got Perrin endlinks for $99 on eBay and they are sick!!!!
