^ cool...thanks.

if anyone has them off? can you measure what they stop down too? (shortest measurement) and what they extend to with decent amount of thread still engaged for strength, at least half the threads still inside.

There is no reason you should even be using the 4th hole on your hotchkis front bar - it puts any endlink at simply too steep of an angle for me to consider it safe.

Stick to Hotchkis's recommended settings front and rear, and follow the instructions for setting length that are included with the endlinks and you'll end up in good shape.

Any shop that has scales will know automatically what to do with the endlink length to set preload as part of doing a cornerbalance.

I just ordered some powergrids.

What type of shop is likely to have the knowledge to install these properly? I have Hotchkis v2 sways on a stock suspension.
