    End Links

    Hey guys!

    Just installed a set of FK coilovers onto my Mk4!
    All went well, except, now my sway bar is rubbing...
    As most people know, FK coilovers do come with end links (see picture) , but they look enourmous.

    As you can see, the drop links which come with the coilovers are much different to whats actually on my Mk4

    Will the FK end links actually fit? because they look way too long.

    (Yes i've tried googling this and i haven't found any information on the FK end links, just people buying new sway bars and adjustable links)

    End Links

    Any type of adjustable links don't work. I've tried and failed haha
    There is no way around the stock swaybar because it is such a terrible design
    I was told a few times before I bought the links that they won't work, but thought I'd give them a go anyway
    Don't waste your money on them haha
    I've tried messing around with the height of them and also shaving part of the swaybar with a grinder
    It's slightly better but has also something to do with me raising the car 10mm aswel



    Either raise your car, cut the swaybar out or go aftermarket
    I've just bought myself an aftermarket bar because I don't wanna drive around without one haha
    I will update my build thread once it's in End Links

    Car handles better without a front sway bar. Provided you don't have a huge rear

    the one pictured is a 4motion bar as said above.
    if you are lowering your mk4 enough to rub sway bar, then you are going backwards handling wise, might as well pull it out

    Nathan you should cut yours out and do a direct comparison review as I know you were a bit hesitant to just remove it but now you have a new one to go in.

    I bought a set of whiteline adjustable swaybar links. Worked great until they snapped. I've since replaced them with OEM plastic links.

    Don't drive without a bar - Makes the car feel very mushy.
