swaybar endlinks

I have a 97 Z28 with Koni SA shocks and Eibach LS1 springs. They have lowered the car about 1-1.25 from stock.

I run Solo 2 and plan to also run Solo 1 and lapping days. The car is used on the street in the summer.

I am getting a ST 35 mm front swaybar.

I want to use the Energy Suspensions endlinks but do not know the length I should use.

What is the stock length?

I have been told the endlinks ought to be the same length as stock, less a percentage of the amount the front end has been lowered. If, say, the endlinks attach 2/3 of the distance between the a-arm bushings and the wheel and the car has been lowered 1.5", the endlinks probably ought to be 1" shorter than stock. This will maintain the ends of the sway bar level as before.

Does this make sense? Recommendations please.

The front bar should come with bushings and end links.

I know some supply with endlinks but JEGS told me they are not included with theirs. Anyone know different from JEGS?

In any case I plan to buy used and guys are keeping their endlinks so I will need to buy separately.

The stock endlinks have a 2.5" sleeve on them. Your model works fine, and is more accurate (though accuracy here is probably not that critical) than the usual "lower the car an inch, shorten the end links an inch" version.
