When I got my R32 it had fairly new ST coil overs with the OE link ends, I think I may be getting a noise from the RF one and wanted to replace the pair, my question is are the OE length ones ok or do I "NEED" shorter ones??? I read that the shorter ones are for extremely lowered cars which mine is not, it is lower than stock but not slammed. Thanks for any recommendations..........

Dont really need shorter endlinks unless youre alot lower, if you can still see atleast a little wheel gap just stick with stock length

my KW Clubsport endlinks are substantially shorter than OEM, your best bet is to measure or find the specs and compare to OEM length.

With the full wight on the car measure the gap between the axle/sway bar and the control arm/sway bar to see if you need shorter endlinks. As long as everything has room to move the stock length will be ok, just need to make sure nothing is bottoming out or rubbing. Regardless of what length you need, I would suggest upgrading the endlinks. These are by far the best endlinks I have found yet and the price is very fair.

Technically, you don't NEED new endlinks if you're not slammed, but the general rule is the your swaybars should be parallel or near parallel to the ground on level ground. If you have a moderate drop from your coils, I wouldn't be too concerned, but ideally you'd want to go with shorter ones to match your drop.
