Pedders adjustable front end links

Anyone have these? I seem to be the only GTO owner with them. . For the install, I guess you just screw the post to the matching length where the bolts reach the strut and sway bar? Are the two nuts on each post all that is needed to fix the length without issue?

In Pete's youtube coilover install video, he does not have adjustables, but the length of the ones he uses match up perfectly to the holes. I cannot remember for certain but I believe I had to do some sort of maneuvering to get the end links to match the distance between the strut and sway bar holes when I installed.

Also wondering, one end of each post is regular bolt threads, the other end is reversed threads. Does it matter which end goes to the strut and which to the swaybar hole?

I don't think it matters which end goes to the sway bay or strut. The threads are reversed because it allows you to adjust the length of the end link while it's installed on the car. You just loosen the nuts on each end and twist the middle shaft.
These Proven Wicked end links are similar in design to the Pedders. Read the details at the bottom of the page and maybe it will help answer some of your other questions:
