Dude, thank you! I’ve been searching for a video that specifically covered how to set the end links. Did it wrong on mine and have been hearing a clunking sound from the front end since. Everyone had videos of installing the coilovers, but nobody covered the end links but you. Thanks again, really helpful!
I just installed coilovers on my 2013. This is my first foray into the compact car world, so I am a little new to anything with out solid axles and leaf springs, haha. Anyway, I didn't know that I'd need adjustable end links when I installed the coilovers. On my first test drive with the coilovers there was a terrible squeak and scrapping noise. I pulled the wheels off and found witness marks from the end links scrapping against the inner fender. Do you think that installing the adjustable end links will resolve the squeaking and the scrapping? I don't want to employ the BFH to create clearance if simply installing the adjustable links will resolve the issue. Thank you for any advice you can offer.
How have yours held up? I just installed mine yesterday and I'm already getting alot of clunking. I went under and found that the bottom nut on the passenger side endlink that connects to the sway bar was loose, so I retightened it and the clunking went away completely for maybe 50 miles, but as soon as I hit a medium sized bump/pothole it started clunking again and progressively got worse. What could possibly be causing this? (I'm on OEM struts and Whiteline lowering springs with a stock front sway bar btw) Please and thank you!

Did you load the drivers seat with your equivalent weight?
Great info, thanks!

Mine have held up great with no noise. Maybe try using thread locker and torquing them to spec. Did you adjust them with the suspension fully loaded?
Does this require an alignment afterwards?
No.
