I’ve been doing a lot more reading and watching videos on how to properly set up and adjust the end links and sway bars. Seems you have to adjust the center collar on the end links while the suspension is loaded and you don’t want any tension on the bar while at ride height. I installed the exact same end links and sway bar front & rear like you, but definitely need to go back and check everything over again and re-adjust the end links….
@@JoeyMontalto Just curious why you adjusted the front end links on the shortest setting and didn’t match them to the OEM length and adjust from there?
@@JoeyMontalto Ok thanks! I appreciate your time. Just wasn’t sure if there was some other issue. I will leave mine adjusted at the shortest length as well then 🤙🏼
Can anyone comments on turn-in response and rotation in the corners? I never stiffen the front as the rear stiffness increase of 30-50% fixes all the WRX factory understeer. Used to autox, so can't sort out why anyone would ever stiffen the front one unlees they like pushing through corners insteaf of getting the rear to rotate.
Hey there, I am installing fortune autos and smy links soon. Question, in your fortune auto install vid you used the stock end links, did this push the sway bar down do to the car being lower and the stock links being longer? You mentioned just keep the adjustable links the same length if you got them and install them. Did you keep the smy links oem length as well? I just had silvers on the car and got terrible clunks. Brought to a shop and they confirmed it wasn’t an install issue. Trying to avoid any issues with the fortunes. Thanks
I ran the oem endlinks the entire time with the fortune autos no issues and no extra sounds. With the smy links and Whiteline sway bar I had to make them shorter to make it all fit nicely
@@JoeyMontalto awesome thanks for the info. So with a stock sway bar I should extend the smy end links to the stock end link length? Also what thread count measurements did you end up with on the coils for front and back for ride height? Car looks great
Hi Joey, I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind. I'm installing the Rallitek 1.5" lift springs on my WRX. I also got their HD front end links; do I start at the tallest length as mine is opposite from your setup? I'm also going to swap out the rear lower control arm with one from Cusco. The instruction manual is in Japanese. On Parts List #7, there are four plates that go in between the washers. Do you know what they're for?
I have 70 000 miles on mine and the owners manual does not say anything for engine carbon buildup my 2022wrx is stock .should i be concerned about carbon buildup? And if so is there anything that will remove it without the cost of wallnut blasting?
