Hy and thankyou for your reply. My question on the swaybar is the following. The sway bar is connected to the subframe at the center (close to the center of frame/car) and at the ends of the bar , there is connections to the suspension arms that move up and down with the movement off the strut assembly under weight from the car and the sudden effect of driving into curves. This 2 (ea for ea side)links ,end links as known in US , pull on one side of the bar while pusshing on the other side ,the bar perfoming as a sort off torsion bar. The stock sway bar has a relationship to the stock height of the car,and the links are attached to the suspension arms keeping the bar centered. When the car is lowered,I can imagine(perhaps I am wrong)that the arms relationship to the frame changes,needing shorter links or else the bar would be sort of rotated upwards,unless what drops the car ,and what drops in the car is only the body with the shorter front springs,leaving the arms and subframe in the same relative position. In the first case ,shorter links would be needed, in the second,the original size will sufice. Which one theory is correct,or maybee I am all wrong.I am an amateur,discovering all these things on my own,having fun,but I would like to get a better opinion. After driving for a couple of months, I notice that the whole bar is like run towards one side,with both links leaning in following way,leading me to think that maybe,perhaps,the links are bigger than needed. This is a thicker bar I got from ADDCO sway bars,made for my car,it is not an adaptation.After discovering the out of place bar,I proceed to correct it only to find the same out off place position a few weeks/couple months later. What do you think?. About the shocks,shorter shocks ,as you said will give better cornering,less sway,because I think these regular size ones I still have in the car w/the dearched springs tend to extend whenever posible ,causing jumpy ride .My rear bumpstops were cut 2 inches before reinstalling them w/the dearched springs. Thanks again. Jaime.
