Yeah, it's really not anything to be worried about.

I drove around with one completely broken (disconnected even) for about 6 months before I fixed it.

You'll notice a bit more roll in the rear on VERY sharp high speed turns, that's it. Car drives fine with no sway bar, just doesn't perform at 100%

so you won't lose control of anything at all.

What track will you be going to? I see you are in Brownsville and I'm not aware of a track south of Harris Hill in San Marcos, which is still pretty far from Brownsville.

I'm going to the pca track in Laguna vista. Ok so just to recap. If I get the sway bars right now w/out the end links I'll be fine. If they break WHILE I'm driving I won't lose control of the car. And eventually I am going to have to replace them. Sound about right?

pretty much but i'm on hotchkiss bars for 3 years now with factory links sooo.

Its mostly guys with stiffer lowering coils that have popped the factory links

Yep. You'll be fine. The end links will be under a lot more stress than stock, but you may not have them break for years. You'll love the sways. Start off soft in the rear and stiffen it up as needed.

I think someone recommended that having the front sways on stiffest is ok and the rears to be on medium or soft? Anyone care to explain why? Or perhaps a different recommendation?
