Lowering - coilovers - end link question

Ok I have ordered a set of coilovers for my R53. Along with those I will be refreshing almost all of the suspension. Now I understand that adjustable end links are desireable to dial out preload on the sway bars when lowering (i won't be going extreme). I notice M7 sells end links in different lengths, but are these neccessary or can I get away with whiteline or alta (for examples) instead?

You don't HAVE to get adjustable end links when lowering the car especially if you aren't slamming it.
But if you want some we offer some that are the highest quality and have ball sockets to keep them quiet, but also these use smaller shafts just slightly larger than the stock so you don't have to worry about clearing other suspension parts or binding.

Thanks for pointing this out. I'm about to start shopping for my R53 and don't want to waste time on places not willing to ship to Canada.
