Default Blox adjustable end links. Length?

I'm getting ready to install my ASR brace and CTR rear swaybar. What length should I adjust the blox links to? I tried going to a honda dealer to measure the oem links but nobody has them in stock. Any help and other tips are appreciated. Thanks.

Adjust them to somewhere in the middle of their adjustment range. Install one side, and move the LCA through its entire range of motion. If nothing binds or hits, its probably a good enough length.

Make certain both are either of equal length, or remove all preload by adjusting the 2nd endlink after installing the first with the car on the ground and suspension settled.

If your car is so low that you cannot slide under the rear bumper while its sitting on its wheels to install the 2nd endlink, um, yeah, you're probably too low.

However, you can always park the car with the tires at the edge of a curb, with the car on the sidewalk and the bumper hanging off, to get more clearance.

If you don't want to do that, then just accept a little preload (the factory endlinks force preload, so its not so terrible) and adjust them to an equal length.

i thought the car was too low when I installed them. but it came out really nice. no preload at all. my is is not "slammed." I guess I thought I was bigger than I really am. Thanks!
