provided they are adjusted correctly there is no disadvantage.

It seems not too difficult to DIY the end links.

Apart from making sure the sway bar is not preload, is there any other thing I need to pay attention to?

Steps
disconnect the original end link while the car is on jack stands;
Install the top part of the adjustable end link;
leave the lower part of the end link loose;
put the car on ramp;
adjust the end link length and to connect the sway bar (how to tell if the sway bar is "ground" but not preload as the others said though?)

am I correct?

Put car on ramp is the second last step?
Does this mean u need to drive it before the parts are reconnected??
