      Okay, what type/size socket is needed for the bolts?

          That is optimal if your car is lowered at all.

            correct the rears are shorter to accommodate lower ride heights. Also remember to set and install the links with the suspension loaded, without weight on the rear springs, the links will appear way to short.

              Observations...

              Installed my front links on the M3 yesterday. Looks like I'll need to have the suspension loaded to gain enough link-to-control arm clearance to have the swaybar perfectly horizontal. However, after I do this, the bar WILL make contact with the control arms when the suspension fully unloaded. Is this a problem? or no big deal?

              A bumpsteer spacer would solve this but seeing as I don't have any I just set it as close to the arm as possible. BTW, I think the links are great! I would have liked to see a larger self locking nut with integrated washer for the strut mounts though.

                It's no problem if they hit the control arms with the suspension unloaded, just as long as they don't hit, during the normal suspension movement of the car
