adjustable end links on front bar?
Would adjustable end links on the front be helpful in corner weighting and lowering the car on stock bolts? Do the end link angles change much when the car is lowered?
This will be on a stock bar, stock shocks and not lowered all the way down.
What are the options for end links? I only want two of them and they can only be in the front. Do any of them have lh/rh threaded rod ends for easy adjustment on the car?

these seem the best so far.
Any benefit to poly bushings on a stock bar?
edit....doesn't have to be car specific info but mine is a c5 z06.

what i have heard is that you can use one adjustable on the front and one on the back for the corner weighting and leave 2 stock. I'm pretty sure that they only adjusted one side to do the corner weighting anyways.

I like to use a single front/rear, but you have to modify them (VBP/T1 for instance) because they are too long. You can trim the body and threads to make them short enough to match the OEM links.
Sounds like's he an autocrosser, where front only is allowed in some classes. It is certainly better than nothing, but it's better to do front and rear. I don't know how you would know if it is the right length without separating it and seeing if the holes line up???
Why would you want to be able to adjust them "in place"

You don't corner weight the car using the sway bars. When you do corner weights you should have the sway bars disconnected.

Richard is right and to elaborate. You should corner weigh with the bars disconnected. Then you would adjust the end link length so that the attaching bolts pass freely, so that there is no preload.

You make your adjustments at the spring with sway bars disconnected. Then adjust your endlinks prior to reconnecting to assure you have no preload on the sway bars. Obviously the car will be sitting on its wheels while corner weighting and stay there while reconnecting the bars.
Good luck
