Adjustable sway bar end link lengths

[repoman89]

Hey all -- anyone have any suggestions for appropriate adjustable sway bar end link lengths, front and rear, for shocks / struts with OE end link mounting locations at a 13.5/13.0" ride height? Or does anyone have the measurements for the OE end links so I can make an educated guess?

Putting in orders for the Ohlins R&T kit and associated stuff to replace my KW V2s, which I believe use special short end links. I'm in a slight time crunch so might be stuck ordering a few sets and returning the rest in order to get my car aligned and back on the road for an event.

Thanks. Saw these Turner ones but hadn’t seen this page to choose fitment based on vehicle, only absolute length. So presumably the E46 fitment works even though it doesn’t specify E46 M3. Much appreciated, I’ll grab a set of these when I put in my ECS and other orders tomorrow.

Yup, fairly sure that the stock endlink is the same length on all E46s non-xi.

Depends where the bracket is mounted on the shock.

The goal is to get the end link to be 90 degrees to the sway bar arm, and the preload dialed out.

Yep ... this is the problem trying to buy everything at once and rushing an install, isn’t it. The brackets will fall where they fall with my particular choice of parts once the car is set up and corner balanced. I guess I can order and install these in the week between my alignment/balance appt and event after actually measuring assuming ecs can get them to me on time. Maybe order the E46 spec and see if I get lucky, and if not, exchange.
