Sway Bar End Link Adjustment

[BadPiggy]

Installing a Whiteline Front Sway Bar.
Not much in the way of directions for installing as it's pretty straightforward.
Now I'm stumped.

Is there a particular length the end links should be at?
OR...
A distance the sway bar should be measured from something?
OR...
Do I just get both sides equal lengths and bolt it down?

Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I made mine the same length as the originals cuz i too was unsure. Works great no issues. I have it set on the 3rd hardest setting. I don't have the rear done yet but the difference is night and day with the front. Ur gonna like it. Also with the brackets ur gonna have to open them up for the bushings and tighten everything down to get rid of the gap.

Enjoy!

I wondered the same thing when I installed mine. its been awhile but I think I set them the same as stock length then installed them in the second hole.

My answer isn't "S197 specific", but it should work well: The arms of the sway bar should be level to the ground, with the car sitting at normal ride height. Typically, both end links should be the same length. Yes, you can tune the car by adjusting for different end link lengths, but that's best left for experts. By running non-equal length links, you are adding bar pre-load to the car. That's definitely not needed for street-duty.
