I just bought and installed the Energy Suspension complete kit. According to my parts list, the rear end link kit is part number 3.5161, the front are 9.8118. Good luck

I've been on this subject lately. I have a 21mm BMR bar in the rear. It came with prothane enlinks I think. Though I'm wondering how much it takes into consideration lowering the car. My bushings where the bar was attached were angled a bit and I'm on Strano springs.
I'm wondering if there is a rule of thumb given that you have endlinks of a particular size for your stock height and then you lower the car ~1 inch. If 1 inch typically means you want the endlink spacer to be a certain amount smaller
I've measured the size of my current rear endlinks, but I'm hesitant to just go out and buy the same size due to the arm being attached at an angle.

I've been doing some reading. Some recommend shimming the spacer. Some recommend going with a smaller spacer and buying washers to space the links appropriately.
What is the next size lower than the rear set you provide?
