I applied anti-seize liberally to the threaded section that go into the body to help prevent any rusting issues.
The one different thing with these end links is that the counter hold isn't in the stud, but rather is a hex flange thing-y. Requires a thin access wrench to counter hold, and not sure on size (I think it's something like 16-17mm), but it's a minor thing. Some folk probably prefer it this way as well, I know I do.

How do you determine the neutral position and set the adjustment height on the adjustable sway link?
I was thinking:
Option 1
measure the stock and adjust the difference according to the amount that I've lowered my car. So for me it's (stock sway link length - 1")
Option 2
Measure the center of the hub to the top of fender while the car is on the ground. Disconnect the sway, Jack the car up, second Jack brings up the hub to the same as ground position, and then fit sway links.
For both options 1 and 2, the entire front end off the ground and perform it uniformly.
Also it talks about benefits of preload which mine are for sure, but that random clicking sound is awful on a daily. Grant it, it's over slow twists and turns, but it bothers me. So neutral is what I want daily.
Plus I read about some lowered E90 folks who did the adjustable and they're claiming the harshness over bumps has gone away and claiming a night and day difference. Looking forward to doing mine. https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=794197
Also props to Luky for posting specs
Front end links stock 300mm
Godspeed 250-310mm M12 PN: SB-TR-180-12
Superpro 245-305mm M12 PN: TRC12200
Eibach 255mm-285mm M12 PN: UEL-12-255HD
Rear end links stock 110mm; M10 on one end and M12 on other? (based on nuts showing on real OEM)
May have to get Superpro (85-100mm) M10 end links (PN: TRC1025A) and M12 end links (PN: TRC1225A) and swap one end of each to make two sets of "F10 rear adjustable" end links...

Unspec how are those Superpro links holding up? Noises, etc? |
I did a video on this on YouTube.
