Anyone familiar with what the stud size is for the front factory sway bar end link? Want to replace with an adjustable one (lowered suspension) and there are options for 10mm and 12mm. Thanks.

Believe I found the needed info. It is a 10mm 12mm stud and the link is 12.5” from center to center.

Measures 11.82mm.

So, since installing the Eibach lowering springs, I thought it would be good to also change the end links based on this thread. Thought that since it was lowered about 2.5”, the end link needed to be lengthened by the same amount, to return the sway bar back to stock position. Was comparing universal end link offerings from Scale, SuperPro and Whiteline. Went with SuperPro TRC 12265 since they allowed for 12.6” to 14.4” inches (Scale similar and lowest cost). Set them to 14.4” lifted both sides, and bam, they won’t fit. Turns out the way the sway bar is bent and the limited travel of the A arm, it can’t go that low, as it will hit. Plus, there is no way to make the bar connection point be parallel to the ground and 90 degrees to the end link (while vehicle is down on the ground) as many videos suggest, since it has this weird angle. And the sway bar bushings are really tight, with both end links removed, it is very difficult to rotate the sway bar. All in all, I ended up getting a max of an additional 7/8” to 1” over stock, before the bottom of the end link starts hitting the A arm. Yeah the SuperPro adjustable end links are super nice and much beefier than stock, fit and look great, but not sure 1” is enough to warrant this work. Should probably reset the sway bar bushings to their new position too, unless they are bonded to the sway bar. Some pictures of my work.
