Default figs swaybar end links

Hello all,
Ran into a little snag installing the figs endlinks. After torquing down the bolt that holds the endlink to the LCA I noticed there was a small gap between the threaded endlink cap and the LCA. I made sure I torqued to specs but there was still that small gap. I removed the bolt to see if the end of the bolt was making contact with the end of the threaded cap and sure enough the threads had been crushed a little. I decided to install some 1/2 inch washers and everything is nice and snug. Might not be an issue with all the endlink kits but for mine the bolt was a little bit too long. No big deal. Just an FYI or I could be installing it incorrectly..lol

Sorry to revive but I would like to know how you guys adjusted your front and rear figs sway bar endlinks.

i noticed where the two bearings meet, they are not aligned correctly, they look crooked. Is there an easy way to fix this? How to fix? And how to adjust to ideal settings?

Can someone tell me what the advantage of the Figs endlinks is over OEM and what the advantage of the adjustability is? I've been searching but there's no clear answer

I remember reading something that sway bar should be horizontal when the car is in the floor. That's where adjustable end links are good for lowered cars.
