FWIW, you can put those bars it a press and bend them to move the ends around.
I've even welded on them, but don't quench them, just let them normalize slowly.
I have built some home made sway bars, at some point I had to weld tabs on the ends in order to make attachment points. I'm not advocating that you destroy your bars arbitrarily and without forethought. I'm saying "I was able to pull it off",. Fabman could prolly give you some insight on this,Are you talking about my post where the current FP rear bar has unfavorable angles to the endlinks and control arm? Are you talking about heating the ends and bending them? If so are you sure you can just heat and bend to where you want?
Heating and bending with air cooling anneals the part (softens it). Then it will deform with load and not return to former shape because the part is soft. Heating and quenching hardened the part and may subject the part to fracture. Sway bars have a proper temper and heat treat so that the metal yields within its elastic limit and it will return to shape. We can't do proper heat treating at home as far as I know.
I'm not challenging you. My statements can be over generalized and there may very well be reasons for what you say will work just fine. I'm tying to learn.
