I would like to know how to adjust for 1 1/2" lowering springs. My stock sway bar end links looked old and I replaced them with Energy Suspension type, I used part number 9-8120g and are shorter by 1 1/4" or so, now the car rides high in the back.

I'm not quite sure what your question really is. I'm guessing that you also just swapped in the new springs and either they haven't had time to settle or they didn't get indexed correctly.

Swapping to the shorter endlinks for the rear bar has no effect on the rear ride height. Going shorter with their replacement was the correct thing to do.

The car is suspended by the springs, not by end links.

 

so your suppose to shorten the endliks when you lower the car as well? didn't know this? Where can I get em?

There's one more thing on the to do list

 

I found 2.250 spacers with 6.500 3/8" bolts to work just right for my lowered car.

On the cheap, you can simply cut down your existing sleeves and re-use the bushings. But I'd recommend replacing the bolts.
