Endlinks Question
I was installing my coilovers today and during the process the nuts were stripped for the endlinks. One is actually still stuck on the OEM strut assembly. I do have new end links that came with my coilover, just waiting on the nuts. Is it safe to drive the car without end links for a few days while I wait for the parts? Of course I'll be driving as carefully as I can and only to and from work(around 5 miles round trip)

A) Make sure your sway bar is disconnected on the otherside.
B) If it it is the front sway bar, you are going to have significant oversteer, more so if you have a stiffer rear bar from OEM. If it is the rear sway bar, you are going to have a bias towards understeer, but since the car naturally has oversteer, it may be neutral. C) Just make sure the sway bar is disconnected on both sides. I can't stress this enough. D) Do not leave the endlink half installed, completely remove it until you have all the nuts you need to install completely. Do all that and the car should be fine, it just won't handle like you are used to.

Probably not a terrible idea. I don't think that it will be a problem, but it would presumably be safer to do something along those lines.
