Lowered, does it affect the sway bar

I had my G lowered about 4 months ago and some old man told me that I would have to change my sway bars due to the car being lowered !!! Is this true

It would be better considering oem endlinks always crap out and unbolt. I was told for a dropped car It would be a great compliment to install shorter endlinks. Meaning buy adjustable, compare to oem size and then make em shorter a bit. The lower the car on rock endlinks, the more pressure you put on the endlinks

The only thing I can think of that would be best to change would be the end links like jbwrecked suggested.

Man I thought you meant change the endlinks. My bad. You should be fine on the sway bars. Your not spreading the axels so your not building any extra tension the sway bar. But on the endlinks you might wanna replace those

No your not pulling on the sway bar more, your pulling on the endlinks like mentioned.

aftermarket sways are awesome on our cars, i have them with adjustable links the handling is everything i want it to be... depends on how stiff you want the wheel to be, the more pre-load on the sway the stiffer wheel feel will be but better reaction from the car when you steer

the way i have mine is full stiffness on my Eibach sways and shorter than OEM links so basically when i flinch the car does too, when i first installed i put the sway in neutral (little to no pre-load) to see the difference then went shorter and shorter until it was where i liked the feel

i went with White Line adjustables via B2 Auto Designs (vendor here)

just need washers to go on ether side of the new links and PB Blaster on there ahead of time... my OEM only had 40k miles on them and they were a PITA until we used that

My car makes a creaking/bending sounds when I enter driveways/inclines and go over speed bumps on an angle. Sounds terrible and I'm worried that the frame is going to bend or something lol. Can anybody else relate? Would this issue be resolved by having adjustable endlinks installed?
