Default Different sized endlinks for a lowered car?

I remember reading a GMHTP article a few years back about going to a longer end link if you are lowered. Any truth to this? I am about to install a 32mm sway bar and would like to replace mine when I do it.

You'll want shorter, not longer end-links.The rear end-links are the ones you'll want to change.

If you lower the car a significant amount, you'll need a shorter end link, as the object is to keep the "arms" of the sway bar as close as possible to being paralell to the ground. However, you can get into angularity problems with the links, if they are too short.
