about to finish the rear h-sport install (more inside)
i just pick up the upper rear sway link bolt to finish the rear install. my question is that the driver side bushing bracket sits lower then the passenger side. is it ok? or do i have to have them level? does it matter if the rear shocks and springs is in the hung position when tightening everything? i just want to get things cleared up before i tightening everything.

doesnt matter in the rear.. i didnt lower them...
and mine are great, just make sure the link is facing the right way, i accidentally swapped sides withe the plastic link and it ground on the axle... oops last time i let my friend work under the car in plain view of the problem... luckily i did a wheelbearing the next day and caught it

i just put my rear in last night...
i shot to have them equal so no preloading (or bias) to one side over the another.
front was the problem though. are yuo replacing the front sway links? for a job that should've taken less than an hour i spent close to 5.
i think i messed up not the threading on one side but i think the whole bolt went to the side of the threading in the [front] bar.
i had to take it out and put in the stock one cause it was 3:45am
let me know how the front install goes.
