Ok, so I set the height of the front coils to where I would want them and started putting everything back together. But I am having a problem reconnecting the end link. The lower arm where the bottom of the shock is connected to is now higher since I shortened the damper length to make my car a bit lower. When I go and try to reinstall my endlinks, I can't get them to line up with any of the sway bar holes. The endlink is now too long. Is this a common problem? Am I doing something wrong?

Never heard of this problem... why don't you try jacking the car back up and take the load off the suspension to a point where you can reconnect back the end link. Either that or SPC sells adjustable end-links where you can adjust its pre-load/height

In that picture, the car is already jacked up. I just put the vertical arm the rotor/brake is connected to into the a-arm to make it straight. Even if I take off the a-arm and move the vertical arm left, right, up or down it won't line up with the holes. If I put the endlinks on first, then the lower arm sits too low for me to attack the shock to the lower arm.

Is the other side of the car still on the ground??? . Are thecoilovers both set equally.

Both sides were in the air. I basically ended up putting in the endlink first and then using a jack to jack up the lower arm, so that I could attach the coilover. The endlink is under stress, but it seems to be holding up. I was just afraid of it snapping as I jacked up the lower arm.
