lol yea its close to half inch, just get a bit and put it up to the end link and see ho much you need to drill out.

I've installed AP endlinks on other peoples cars with no drilling though...

the bolt fits through the hole just fine its the bushing that doesnt and if you do not install that bushing it will bind and wallow the hole out.

and just to clarify the addition of the AP Links was the OEM link bolts were too small for the Hotchkis holes (plus they look bad) and have already done a little "damage" to the hotchkis middle hole.

so I took a different approach and just tightend the **** out of the bolt/nut (I think AP sent me the wrong bushings again)...on a good note the "click" is gone. seems OEM links are too long if you have "lowering springs" so the adjustable was key to get the bar level to the ground...just FYI

Yes here I remain for the time being. But my car Raul should be there! I believe it should kick off around nine but your best bet would be to shoot Scott a pm first to be sure.

On that note. I am so jealous you all will get to see my car in its new digs before I can.

Who all has a tit grey? I saw someone right by Fredericksburg and Huebner last night. I didn't really catch much else... it definitely had an aftermarket exhaust though.
