Sway bar and ride height? I redid the suspension with the new Eibachs Pro's and Bilsteins with KYB Mounts. I didn’t know that the car needs to be at ride height when the swaybar is attached however. I did one side at a time as I finished each front shock and then when I lowered the car noticed it’s 1” lower on the driver’s side (the side I did first) than the other. I thought it would “settle out” but apparently you have to have the suspension loaded when you tighten the swaybar. So I’m going to get a couple ramps to put the car on and do the end links again. Hope that fixes the problem.
