The point is I'll try not to lower the property values while I'm visiting despite my ignorance of Geography (I'm seeing RED already).

I'm actually 230 miles south of NYC, takes me about 5-1/2hrs to get to the city...

I guess for a rental I need to add a hour or so.

Just read this about front strut bars.

Adding strut tower braces has this effect...
The car is more responsive to suspension adjustment; car feels more solid, ride improves, suspension seems to work better; a stiffer suspension can be tolerated by driver.

Can't wait for the "TAZ" special to arrive. Combined with the new front endlinks it's going to be white knuckle city (and I'm black).

My advise to all is to install as recieved, then adjust as necc. the more you preload the more you'll tune out oversteer and the more twitchy the car will become.

You forgot that I also have the front SE-R bar

More pre-load = more fun.

Based on your location I would recommend you keep them the same size because it's that added thickness that transfers energy faster not shortness, Shorter may cause more undue stress on the bolts causing them to sheer on the hard NYC roads.

I have a Rsb and strut tower brace and both the front and rear endlinks. How do I go about minimizing the twichyness. The car is too responsive in high speed. Do i shorten both endlinks?

Get rid off your RSB and sell it to me

Joke apart, your RSB is the main reason for your car is very responsive.

From what Chernmax said earlier, I would guess you would need to make them longer. But I'm no expert on the subject, just an interpretation of the comment.

Wow, this thread is full of false information. First and foremost you can't preload the sway bars on a 6th gen Max (you can left to right but that's another topic). When you lengthen or shorten the front/rear endlinks the only thing that happens is the sway bar rotates in the sway bar bushings. What you've effectively changed is the angle of the force acting on the sway bar to what it wasn't intended to be. If your car is lowered you want to lengthen the end links to return the car's sway bar geometry back to as close to OE as possible. The front is easy. If you lower the car 1" then you need to lengthen the end link 1" and so on and so forth. Because of how attachment points differ in the rear it needs to be adjusted ~1/2 of what you lower the car by.
