Default front endlinks when dropped stech or lower?Tc

Do you need you need to switch you front endlinks when your drop on stechs or lower? i have progress coilovers and dropped as low as stechs or a tad lower... what would be the benefits of switching them? thank

upgraded endlinks are really a mod for people who autocross their cars, not for people who just lowered their cars.

autocrossing puts alot of stress on the endlinks, and in kanundrum's case, they get get seriously bended and flex alot. so heavy duty endlinks are much stronger and stiffer.

You'll need adjustable front endlinks if your front swaybar has preload on it. You'll need a chassis scale to determine whether or not your bar is loaded.

This doesn't really apply to you, though. Your car is way to low to handle properly, all the geometry is out the window. Unless you bend/snap a stock link, don't even worry about it.
