Shorter front end links for lowered 5.0's?

[turka]

I have this problem, and need shorter front endlinks:

So far, all I've found were these:

Powergrid Front Sway Bar Endlinks, 2005+ Mustang [12M-75] : Maximum Motorsports, the Latemodel Mustang Performance Suspension Leader!


Anyone else run those? Any other recommendations? I've also heard some people mentioning a certain Energy Suspension bushing kit that supposedly includes different length endlinks but haven't been able to find any info on it :shrug:


I also need an adjustable panhard bar, was looking at the BMR one, but any recommendations/long term reviews on those would be awesome as well.


Your input is appreciated!

You don't NEED shorter endlinks, just push the swaybar down and bolt the links up. I've had to do that on a few I've lowered so far, the swaybar is just bound up in the bushings.

This is same that happens to all 2011's and 12's..

in 2010 the stabar bushing was slippery rubber but it wore through bad and caused lots of compliants.
in 2011 Ford changed to a bonded rubber front bushing that works a lot quicker and i think helps steering feel.

By winding it up via lowering and keeping the same stabar links that quick action is even more pronounced but it can make bumps a little harsher,
also it increases front roll rate and you need a larger rear stabar to balance it out.
You also can drop the front ride height via tire selection to get the balance back, dont forget you can work with tire pressures too -
edit: DECREASE front, INCREASE the rear psi since goal isto get steering back..

Next up on the critical list for lowering IMO is the bump steer kit to fix the rut wander and toe out issues that come with front lowering springs.
