I absolutely would. Probably would be concise and to the point. Dogs don't mess around much with communication.

I guess adjustable rear endlinks do have a purpose. I always thought they where a frivolous “because” part.

I've always thought it was needed when you adjust/upgrade the suspension. Cuz geometry changes and to get proper adjustment of sway, it needs adjustable rear endlinks... of course, if you have adjustable/different spot holes on RLCA.

Yes and no. When you lower the car you are rotating the bar up given the endlink length is the same so you are reducing clearance to other parts. Another issue is when installing aftermarket coilovers you are setting the ride height and spring preload yourself. So there is the chance you can cause a difference in preload or height on the same end of the car and that could preload the bar at static height. So you would want adjustable endlinks to be able to remove that preload out of the bar.

Just sent my first internal prospective applicant email to a hiring manager at another group/team at the big corp I work for. It's 11 months and still feel zero fit where I currently am, so one of my older friends who used to be a software engineer here strongly recommended I try switching teams, and another old friend who does work here recently did that himself and recommended it.

It's not ideal to switch after only a year but I was at my last job for 4 years and that was killer. So this time I don't think I want to tough it out like I did that time.

Guess we'll see if this leads anywhere.

I think that's actually "samurai barding" since it's on an animal.
