    Are adjustable sway bar endlinks necessary in my case?

    Figured I'd ask here as well (also posted in E36 M3 sub).

    I'm in the middle of installing a Koni 1145 kit (Koni shocks & Eibach Springs). It's supposed to lower the front ~1.5" and the rear ~0.5". How critical is using the adjustable end links on the front and rear sway bars? Are they even critical to begin with on a car that's being lowered only moderately?

    It's not my daily driver, nor is it a track rat, but I don't want the body roll to be negatively affected by the sways if it can be avoided. That's assuming that leaving the stock endlinks in would even cause enough of a difference that can be noticed to begin with.

    I don't think it's crucial, more like an added value. If this is a secondary car and not one that will be a DD or tracked, you'll be fine using the stock end-links. If you have the adjustable ones already, you may as well use them; but if this is going to be an added expense; it's avoidable. Just my 2 cents...best of luck!
