was suppose to be a lil secret but so many people know already lol
its should work for my basic need of drive-ability but also having the option of dropping it down when parked
car in question:

Rear bags are with mr dorbritz, the master installer lol
Should have it installed this weekend with the help of a bunch of awesome friends
Will notch the frame and take out the swaybar
Wish me luck

PS: Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the sway go under the axle? Unless if you're looking for more side/side independent movement, it would be virtually useless to take out for clearance purposes.

Re: f_399 air install (tmvw)

i am not sure
i asked a couple bagged guys here and they said to go ahead take the sway bar out

my swaybar endlinks started causing issues for me. one bent somehow and it started rubbing the tire/wheel. i just took out the endlinks and havent had a problem since. the front swaybar doesnt get in the way of snything so i left it in. my rear sway seemed to have no effect whether it was in or out. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: f_399 air install (tmvw)

the axle ends up resting on the sway, limiting the ability to go lower

 

[f_399]

i am very curious to see how low i can get

its on h&r ultra low

 

[dorbritz]

Re: (f_399)

Simple and easy.

the sway bar will pinch in between the lower arm and axle.

as long as you don't bottom out the internal valving, you'll be fine. you'll have other things that prevent you from getting lower if the valving isn't bottomed out

PS: Are you planning on keeping the fat 5's?

depending on how the fronts are all set up, you might be limiting yourself with the tire size. 215/40 right?

 

[f_399]

215 40 18 8.5 wide and i think et45
5mm spacers in the back
thinking of putting the 5 in front and either going 8 or 10 in the back
