Default Installed End Links

I need some schooling.....This weekend I installed UPR Endlinks and they were definitely a nice upgrade.

My question is, other then getting the sway bar to the correct angle due to lowering, is there any other benefit to this adjustment either up or down?

Normally, you'd set the endlink adjustments such that the bar was not under any load with the full weight of the car sitting on its wheels. Ideally this would be with a driver sitting behind the wheel (or the driver's weight simulated with loose weights of some sort).

However, you could use the bar adjustment to even up the corner weights to a limited extent. This is not the preferred approach to cornerweighting your car, but unless you have coilovers it's the only easy method available. You'd need cornerweighting scales for this, otherwise you're just as apt to guess wrong about which way to adjust as right (never mind by how much). Mostly this is a corner-carving mod even though it affect the rear tire loadings some.
