if you lower your ride you need a shorter one.

only if you get shorter struts.

most lowerings do not affect
the parts the sway bar end link attaches to,

hence...NO

you lowered the body of the car...so you lowered the points at which the bar is mounted to the body...the bar is supposed to be flat. move any part of it and it wont work as designed...true you didnt lower the mount on the struts, but you lowered the parts where the bushings are mounted under the car.

actually, you'd need longer ones.

if you modify one thing you gotta adjust everything involved...just like you're supposed to adjust camber if you lower...suppose you didnt. good luck keeping tires on it. you will also need a toe adjust...and probably caster will be out as well. not so much in the rear as the front.

i really dont care if you 'fix' it or not. if you like the way it handles, good. keep it that way
