What is the right size to get? I have disassembled my rear suspension and foolishly threw away the old end links because I was planning on getting new end links. Now I need to know the proper size. Car has not been lowered.

Whatever length keeps the sway bar arms parallel to the ground when the car is weighted.

They're smaller and less flamboyant than your signature.

DLF, You want it parallel to the control arm, not the ground ;)

In which plane? :p
The control arm is very close to parallel to the ground from front to rear, and it's just easier to tell people to use the ground as a reference point.
It really doesn't make a big difference. ;)

True, on these cars it doesn't make much difference :)

My local Autozone has an assortment of Energy Suspension links. Measure the distance between the LCA and the bar end to determine the correct length.

does tat go for the front as well? because i don't have a motor in it, so i don't think it will weigh it down enough

No options for the front, just use the Ford links.
