I know from other cars that when you lower a car you throw the angle off on the swaybars. The swaybars, for best handling, have to be parallel to the ground. When the car is lowered they are no longer parallel. A solution is to shorten the endlinks. How do you guys address this issue? Also what about Dali relplacement endlinks, anyone use them?

I think your basic assumption is flawed. I don't see why the bar needs to be parallel to the ground. As long as you have clearance for the bar to rotate and twist as designed then it should work. The length of the arms determine the amount of leverage, but work is done by the center section being twisted.
