You are reading too much into what I wrote. I do care and I'm planning on getting adjustable endlinks.
However, like I mentioned before, if you can reconnect the OEM endlinks without forcing them after CW, then there's no need to disconnect them in the first place. If you have to force the endlinks to reconnect, then your CW will be off after reconnect, so, again, there's also no need to disconnect them in the first place.
Yes, to do it right, most likely adjustable endlinks are needed.

Btw, how heavy are these? Few pages before that one in the catalog I see some aluminum linkages but the aluminum ones need extra bolts (they lack the stud) for attaching them to the swaybar.
The aluminum ones are on page 1048
The linkages you posted are on page 1051

here are the Prova ones that may give you a couple ideas...
I'm not sure if those black spacers that look like they're inserted into the endlink are nylon or aluminum or what...

krazik,
Do you recommend and adjustable end link on each side or just one one each sway bar?
Thanks,
George

Back from BW.
Spider and Krazik, that's what happened to mine on Friday when, after corner balancing, we couldn't get the end-link back on without some pre-loading. Fortuitously, we had the cross-weights 50.2/49.8 before trying to reconnect the end-link, and after connecting it just happened to be exactly 50.0/50.0. Rylan, I know that this slight pre-load is not ideal, so I will be getting adjustable end-links for next time.
BTW, the car handled well. At the PCA event, my hotlap wasn't working, and in my official time trial I did a 2:12.07, and that was with a mistake in buttonhook where I over-cooked it and went way wide sideways. It's exciting when you have only 2 hotlaps to turn your official times, and the first one the tires aren't up to temp.
