Whats up everyone. I just received my coilovers and I have a question. Do the sway bar mounts (on the coilover) have to be a certain height? This may be a dumb question but i have never installed coilovers before with adjustable ride height. It's really confusing because you can spin it to adjust up or down! Does this have to remain in the same position height wise as the stock strut? For example, if I'm going all the way low on it do I just spin it all the way to the top? Also how do I tighten it down? Please help I'm getting super frustrated!

Ideally the end link mounts should be at a height that keeps the sway bar parallel with the ground at ride height.

So then wouldn't that limit me to how low I can go?

Depends on where they would have to be to do it. If it is too high you can always get shorter end links to lower the mounting point and still keep the sway bar parallel with the ground.

Like I mentioned in my message, it looks like the Mazdaspeed 3 endlinks would work well to go lower because they're 62mm shorter.

I'd remove the lock collar and use the sway mount collar as a lock collar, then lower as much or as little as you want.

The sway bar angle should be close to stock. If you have preload on the sway bar, your car will ride harder than it has to.
