Endlinks for KW Sleeve Over Kit

Superhiro · 05-08-2014, 05:21 PM

Was hoping some of the more knowledgable suspension gurus could chime in...

I installed a set of KW Sleeve Overs on my 2011 M3 Coupe 6 months ago, and in the past week a front end suspension noise has developed. Turns out my sway bar end links are going bad, and I was wondering if they should be replaced with OEM end links, or shorter or adjustable end links. And if going with shorter end links, what length would be recommended?

Thanks!

Is anyone running shorter endlinks when running a spring setup only? I'd be interested in hearing peoples experience with or without the KW sleeve over setup.

Thanks!

Im sorry to say but I honestly think is pour installation of the orientation of the sleeve over. My car is 08 and I've had the sleeve over since they released. I've tracked my car with them many times and still on original end links. Just ordered ohlins and I'll still continued to use them. Inspect the installation of the sleeve over to make sure you are not hyperextending the end links.
