Preload is the force (tension/compression) on the sway bar when the car is at rest, before the load when cornering. Having the car lowered changes (increases) the amount of force on the sway bar, and in turn the end-links, because the different geometry of the suspension. I wouldn't worry about handling changes so much unless your racing competitively, they won't be big enough to notice unless your a professional driver. The stock end-links "should be" strong enough to handle street driving. I would consider upgrading when you have the chance though.
