I lowered my '02 Kon using the Beltech "2 drop spindles, "3 (I think) Ground Force springs and the Beltech Nitro Drop 2 shocks. I need to do the alignment again but it's pretty close for now. After doing all of that, it feels "sway'y" at hwy speeds. Like the center of gravity is the roof. I know that all of the geometry has changed and have narrowed it down to the sway "haha" bars. Is there a way I can get the sway out with out having to buy new bars. Do they make swaybar end link extention kits? I am trying to keep the ride as stock like as possible.

Post up some pictures of the install bro. Did you do any adjustments with the keys?

The drop should lower your center of gravity, not make it more top heavy. You're experiencing the exact opposite of what should happen with regards to that.

I don't think it's something I need to get use to. It's been lowered for the past 3 years. I was just really unhappy as to how it was ridding with the "cheap" route. I.E turned TB's and just a spring kit. It was ridding on the rear bump stops till about a month ago. Granted, that would change the ride characteristics.

um, i'm a lifted 4x4 guy, but i know if your alignment, specifically your tow-in angle is off, your car will sway, and feel like it wants to snake down the road, and feel like it is top heavy. fwiw. forgive the new guy...
