The 10mm grey XP-10634 ends are listed in the XQ10 manual and are the lower ones installed on the arms. Sorry if I caused any confusion as I just realized the black sway bar kit ends are 10mm as well. However the screw lengths and the gap dimensions between the links are totally different. I was just going by the manual just to make sure.

The 10R system is a more logical solution (more like what I have on my xray) and i've implemented it, but the length of the sway bar is a bit longer than needed which means as one arm goes up, the ball joints would be pushed even further back than it already is. The only way I see to get the assembly to be perfectly vertical would be to trim the bar back a little. In the images it hard to see, but the joint are not straight up and down which is what I would prefer. .
I know what you mean. I spent a good couple hours Saturday night getting mine sorted. If you need to cut them without applying pressure, a Dremel with a cutting disk might be a good option.
