Keeping endlinks on a bagged RCF?
Hey guys,
I'm getting ready to bag my RC-F on Airforce struts and Airlift 3P. I'll be starting a build thread soon but I wanted some input first. I love the look of a slammed/bagged car, but I also enjoy some spirited driving once a week so I figured air suspension would get me close to the best of both worlds.
I checked specONE's 3IS air suspension build and he removed the washers on the endlink, but after speaking to another member who tried it on our RC-F (running D2 air struts), it still rubbed. I'm hoping with the way Airforce struts are built (allows it to be off center), it will give enough clearance. To my knowledge, if you run AirRunner and AirRex, you do not need to remove the rear endlinks as you'll have enough clearance. For everyone who isn't running those two brands, what have you done to keep the rear endlinks?
Shaved endlinks? Flipped endlinks with washer removal? Aftermarket endlinks (if avail)? I'm open to anything
EDIT: See my build thread for more info on endlinks

(Dont care to begin a reply w infamous me, me, me type responses but-- Everwhere I go, people point to my front wheels and say "Hey man, you seriously need to fill the big gap in front fender well for sure!" Which aggravates the ****** outta me!) Anyway.....(no s) what I'm saying is this.
These questions you're ask I'll above above extremely good and I subscribe just to see what technical advice you get. As stated in title. This is a very valid concern when going to Bags! Good on you man.
I dont care to roll over Whole Foods speed bumps 1 wheel at a time going 1mph. Search for the perfect spacing! 🏋️

It's hard because not too many people bag our cars, and the ones who I did speak to, they ended up removing endlinks which is something I'm not comfortable with doing as it would make it much harder for spirited driving! Hopefully, someone comes through with an answer for me! My struts will be coming in this Wednesday and I'm super excited!
