whats the panhard? and your talking about the two D-Bushings? one on each side? that hold the Sway Bar to the axle?

Right, the sway bar brackets on the axle. The panhard is just to the left of the swaybar on the passengers side:

The sway bar needs to clear this is order for things to work right, if it doesn't it will dig into your panhard or bend the sway bar. It need to clear like this so when the back end goes down the swway bar does not hit the panhard:This is looking up at where the panhard and swaybar meet

These were taken before I relocated my bracket, I had pulled the swaybar over as much as I could without relocating and the driver's side bracket was in the curve of the swaybar. Now that I relocated the bracket and was able to move the swaybar over properly I have much more clearance.

FYI: Your end links should all bolt on the passenger's side in order to move the sway bar to the passenger's side enough to clear the panhard.

This thing handles sweet! I like it...it does bounce though in the back now...like a cheaply lowered civic..but only on bumps and dips...but cornering is very nice...still needs to go lower though... the isolators aka rubber pads on top and bottom of spring arent that thick anyways so it wont make much of a difference...I still need to install the 2 inch drop spindles and keys...everything up front is stock, I just undid the torsion bars all the way...


hmmm...how to get the back 2 more inches? (without a body drop...thats extremely expensive)

i didn't read back thru the entire thread again and can't remember...so i'll just ask ya...

did you install drop shocks and do the bumpstop mod yet? that will get you a tad bit lower.
