i recently installed my GC coilover kit and used the stock swaybar endlinks. i dropped around 2" on all 4 corners.

my question is, how can i tell if the swaybar is preloaded?

Park the car on as level a spot as you can. Put your body weight in the driver seat. Reach under the car and disconnect the drop link and see if the bar unloads in either direction.

When adding coilovers and adjusting ride height its almost mandatory to install adjustable droplinks. It also a great opportunity to get the car corner balanced.
