When I bought my chevelle from the owner i was glad that all i had to do (or so i thought) was to put air in the shocks! Boy was i wrong! The previous owner had used every trick in the book to lower the car! He took a torch to the coil springs to pretty much collapse them, he took the sway bar off, and he had holes drilled in the air shocks! I've got everything fixed except for the swaybar end links. I should have ordered them when i ordered the sway bar and coils but i forgot and now i can't wait that long so i was wondering: at autozone they have them but they are in different lengths, does anyone know the correct length? Thanks

The correct length is different for every car. Sta-bar end link determines overall effectivness of the bar. Lengthening and shortening the link loosens/stiffens the rate of the bar. There is only 1 length kit that most aftermarket producers use. I have never heard of a supplier asking for sta-bar end link height,we usually have a supply of different length spacers to play with.
