I replaced my swaybar on drive on ramps- with full weight of the car on the suspension. I seriously doubt that i would be able to take end links out with 2 fingers even with 50 kg of weight on them, save for 750+ kg of Z's front end weight.

A sway bar WILL put a preload into the chassis if they are not disconnected when doing a corner balance. When getting a corner balance done. You MUST have adjustable sway bar end links or you are WASTING your money. When the corner balance is finished. Then you install the end links with NO preload to them. The ends should slip in and out of the mounting hole in the sway bar. If you ave to move the sway bar to install the end link. you are putting preload into the chassis and just ruined you corner balance.

The adjustable end links can be use to put preload into the chassis for fine tuning of the chassis for a road course. BUT 99% people here are not that experienced to take advantage of it.
