Man you're lucky that upscale had them in stock. I ordered mine on May 18th and they were on back order. Initially, the wait was 3 weeks. It kept getting extended and extended and it turned into 11 weeks. Then when they were supposed to be in America from Taiwan, they unloaded the truck and they weren't there. Turns out the dumba$$es in Taiwan duped up the load and didn't get the container of the Celica coils onto the truck. That really pissed me off so I cancelled my order LOL.

Told ya! Mannn, I'm so jealous right now. Be careful with your rear endlinks. If I were you, I'd replace them. I already have brand new Racing Beat ones for when I can get my BC coils.

Well because you're putting performance suspension parts on your car. It'll be lower, and more than likely stiffer. The endlinks connect from the rear struts to the rear sway bar. There'll be more of a load on them because of the different suspension characteristics and the performance endlinks will handle it better.

So does that mean they should be shorter than stock as well?
I've never really gotten a good grasp on the concept of upgrading endlinks.
Mine are after market as well, but the factory length.

From what I know off the top of my head, you want to put them at whatever length necessary to keep slack out of the sway bar.

x2

You don't want a lot of preload on the swaybar since it's a DD, you know? That'll make the suspension go bad faster. A safe bet would be to make the new endlinks the same length as the old ones.
