    Quick shitty BlackBerry pic:



    I took out the locking collars in the front and lowered the rear some. Fender to ground is 22 5/8"

    I had it aligned mint but the right camber mount loosed somehow while drving and now I have serious positive camber on the right front, not to mention the steering wheel is wayyy off center. Time to do another alignment, sigh.

    More pics to come when it isn't raining.

        Same.

        If I go any lower than this I am going to run into problems with the tie rods hitting the frame. I am already having issues with the swaybar endlinks hitting the inside of the fenderwell.

              The tab isn't the problem, the backside of the endlink itself is hitting the inside fenderwell. I might just take a hammer and do a little work. I might look into deleting the entire front swaybar anyways. With coils it shouldn't lean in corners like a regular suspension would.

                          Yeah.

                          My teacher runs no front swaybar on his Minivan because it kept eating endlinks. He said there wasn't a huge handeling difference and he's been driving like that for over 100k miles.

                          I might just take the end links off to see what it is like.

                              Yeah. I graduate in May with an Auto Body degree. The teacher that took the endlinks off on his van used to work for Chrysler, he said it really isn't a big deal.
