Default How to install Blox adjustable endlinks on LCA??

Okay, I got the Blox adjustable endlinks for my ASR w/ Type R Sway bar combo and I'm not sure on how you are suppose to install this on the sway bar. Meaning, what is the particular order of parts to place them on the lower control arm to correctly install it?

Here is a picture of the parts that were included:

theres no special order..its not rocket science, just nuts and bolts.
but get ready for some heavy duty clattering noise from your rear. im on my second set, snapped 2 already with the same setup. atleast theyre cheap.
if you dont know how to install em, just have someone else do it for you.

i thought there would be specific instructions on how to install them on the asr brace because they don't provide it with the upgraded endlinks

the endlinks have nothing to do with the asr brace.
they dont provide instructions with endlinks because they figure if a person is buying such a product, then they already know about suspension. search the topic. there are tons on here that describe how to install them

I'm not 100% sure but the difference between those adjustable endlinks and say a itr is with adjustable endlinks if you set the right distance (from eye hole to eye hole) you don't have to worry about preload.

With stock itr endlinks and stuff i think you have to hand tighten all the bolts and then lower the car (then roll forward/backwards and settle the suspension) and then tighten down the bolts while it is on the ground and not jacked/raised up.

On my Comptech sway/tie bar setup i had a specific measurement to setup the endlinks so i didn't have to do the whole preloading thing and just bolt it all up and go. i forgot the measurement though and i'm not sure if the installation instructions are still online?

if i'm wrong just ignore everything i wrote...i'd hate to pass on wrong info

*edit* here is the install instructions using stock endlinks. check out the last page of the install...it says something about preload and stuff and endlinks.

Here is a diy with a lot of pictures and the guy used adjustable end links but didn't provide measurements so i'm not sure how credible his install is?

the adjustable links guy is pretty credible. and FYI, setting the length of the endlinks prior to installation has nothing to do with preload issues.
preload is when you mess with the length of the links after tightening the D-bushings down on the bar.
