Rear Sway Bar endlinks?

Hello,
I recently purchased an Alta 22mm rear sway bar and am planning to buy a set of BC racing coilovers. I just wanted to know if I would need a set of adjustable rear endlinks or if the OEM ones would work fine.
Thanks- Tom

You can use the stock end links fine.

But if you want to corner weight the car, or make the sway bars neutral after lowering you will need adjustable links. These are what we use as they have sealed ball sockets to keep them quiet and lasting.

It might be worth buying them proactively anyway. My endlinks started clunking when I switched to coils and did my swaybar.
