Horrible ride quality and can't figure out why

hmm... curious why having them connected would affect height adjustment? I usually disconnect, or make sure both sides are evenly loaded/unloaded when working on the suspension because of unwanted tension if I didn't, but not sure why it would matter when adjusting the height? Is this assuming that the endlinks are adjustable (im still on stock endlinks for now)

Because I didn't when I did mine. I then took it to be corner balanced. Put the car on the scales it looked close. Disconnected the swaybar endlinks. It was way out on the scales. Ride height changed also.
