Default upgraded endlinks..whcih ones?

ill be dropping my car with bilstein dampers all around, an eibach pro-kit (which if good for a 1.5 inch drop), and adding an eibach sway bar kit as well. been reading a bit, and a lot of said its a good idea to replace the stock endlinks if you are lowered. ive seen some made my maximum motorsports and prothane/energy suspension, but not sure whcih to go with for my 1.5 inch drop. anyone know?

thanks.

confusing though, since i can only find apps for either stock ride height, or if your car is lowered 1 3/4 inches or more...what if im at 1.5?

The main difference between the endlink kits (considering they're basically bolts, washers, and spacers) would be the isolating materials. I trust Energy Suspension ... great synthetic compound, reliable (doesn't crack/wear like stockers).

The length of most aftermarket endlinks can be fine-tuned: http://www.miracerros.com/mustang/sway_links.htm

I didn't install these on my lowered car (I'll upgrade after I seee how the stockers wear) and my handling is great with only the lowering springs, dampeners & c/c plates (lowering the vehicle's roll center is where the greaterperformance gain is, not in the swaybar endlinks being parallel).

There are bumpsteer kits and other parts specifically designed for lowered Mustangs ... it's all in the individual's tastes as to what is "necessary" and what is "optional".

Energy Suspension Endlinks LengthPart numberDrop 1"9.81222.56" 1-5/8"9.81201.94" 2-3/8"9.81251.19" 2-5/8"9.81170.94" 2-7/8"9.81180.69" 3-3/8"9.81190.19" 3-9/16"9.8124nonejudging from this chart, id say i would need a 2 inch long endlink...that would be for a drop right in between the 1.94 inch drop (the 1 5/8s long endlink), and for a 1.19 inch drop (which is the 2 3/8 long endlink), if my math serves me correctly. fortunately, energysuspension makes a 2 inch long endlink that should be just about right. i hope. :P just wanted to get the suspension dialed in pretty tight, since ill be investing some real cash. anyone else have any thought? and thanks., mcfarway.
