mistake installing coilovers? (sway bar related)
So I reinstalled everything but I realize I may have made a mistake re-attaching the endlinks from the rear sway bar. I believe I attached it like this, with the bar angled down and the end link angled up...couldn't remember which way it was supposed to go. Does it need to go the other way (bar angled up and end link angled down) or can it be left this way?

The sway bar should be parallel to the ground and the link should come from the bottom of the shock up to meet the sway bar.

I used Super Now links, but purely for colour.

I hear lots of good feedback on the improved racing ones
