ANYONE USE Adjustable Front Sway Bar End Link WITH KW CS

anyone use Adjustable Front Sway Bar End Links with their KW CS? i am posting this in the track section as people who corner balance their cars will most likely switch to Adjustable endlinks.

i am trying to figure out what length people used with their KW CS kit. thank you in advance

I have the Bimmerworld adjustable sway bar links, but I dont run KW CS but Nitron 3-ways.

The links were required as the stock units were too long.

i measured the oe kw links and took this as a basis for the adjustable ones. as these are adjustable, you have some space left on both sides.

mine look like this

I use turner motorsports adjustable end links because they're sealed and maintenance free. I've used rod end style and always hated the squeaking / creaking noises.
Mine are still nice any tight after 3 years.
