Aftermarket front Sway bar End links

"With most aftermarket coilover systems longer links needed to bring the anti roll bar back to the ideal geometry for better ride quality" (ajustable or longer then OEM links)

Question is: Does anybody feel a need or did it? Or stock is about ok? I'm talking about M3's on coilovers sitting low.

Thanks

How much lower than stock are you talking about?

You don't NEED it but if you want proper geometry, it is necessary. They really aren't that expensive so it would kind of defeat the purpose of adding coilovers (increasing performance) when you are not addressing an area where you are decreasing performance.

It's impossible to tell because the geometry of every strut is different. If you were to get a pair check out Turner. They make adjustable links with OEM end links, so they will be noise free unlike some other brands.

They're cheap. Really no downside. I figured if I'm spending $3k on a new suspension and $250 on an alignment and corner balance why night do everything right.
