    Need new sway bar end links

    The end links on my FK silverlines have had it. I'm thinking about replacing them but not sure if I need to go back with FK or if I can get them from a different manufacturer. I know that length is needed to be considered due to the coilover setup but I'm not really sure what a good length would be. I'm pretty unfamiliar with how this component of the suspension is supposed to be so any help or advice as to where I should go from here is appreciated.

    I think the FK's will take stock endlinks. I'm going oem (Lemforder) with my KW's. See what length you have.

    If they appear to be shorter than stock, and adjusteable endlink or an E36 ///M3 endlink should work.

    I'm with DW, I would go with Lemforder. However, check the length.

    The ones that came with the coilover kit are shorter. It's been so long ago that I dont remember if the stock length would go back on but I don't believe they will due to me lowering the car so much in comparison to stock. I may have to see what options I have with adjustable ones or go with e36 m3 ones.

    Mason engineering and Turner both make really solid, durable adjustable endlinks. If you go turner, get the more expensive ones.

    Just so you know...you may still need to go with the e36///M3 adjusteables.

    Don't think you can get, the ones for e46 and be done with it.

    Def don't go the Mason route. Those have to specially fabricated....and you don't need those.

    The endlinks look much shorter in pics than the e46 endlinks. I think you're going to need those speciafied for the e36///M.

    Okay so I looked up the M3 endlinks for the e46 but it looks like these aren't adjustable.

    So do I need these instead?

    Also FK has them available for cheaper then what I found online for the E36 ones but they are backordered...
