Hey all, I just got back from work today. I went down there to install more of my suspension. This is what I put in...all Spohn stuff mostly

34mm front swaybar, poly endlinks and bushings
Wonderbar with adjustable preload
24mm rear swaybar with poly endlinks and bushings
Tubular adjustable panhard bar
Tubular adjustable lower control arms

Oh...

And a Panhard bar relocation kit from BMR

Anyway, the car rides freaking tight. It is kinda bouncy when going over bumps but the road feel is incrdible. Will have to play around with the adjustment on my Koni struts to get some better balance out of it. Anyway, I noticed that the front of the car seems to sit higher than before. Now, when I say before, I mean that the car has Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs with Koni red struts/shocks and had NO SWAYBARS at all!! However, at that time, the front end sat a little lower giving it that raked look. Now, after the swaybars are in, the front sits up higher than the rear, almost like if the front coil springs were not indexed properly. I know they are, I did them myself. Plus, I have Spohn tubular front control arms with spring boxes and they only go in one way. I guess my question would be....

Is it possible to put the front swaybar in backwards? If so, would it set the front end up higher? Does anyone happen to have a picture of the front swaybar installed in their car so that I may compare it? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

Here's a pic:

Thanks, when I put my car back up on the lift on Monday, I will use your picture as a reference. Once again, thank you!!

 

Well James C I must thank thank you for the picture. I put the car up yesterday and sure enough, I had the front swaybar in upside down. Also, I had double checked the rear swaybar and found that I had installed the endlink brackets upside down, and on the opposite side. I guess that is what happens when your car is torn apart for 4 years and you can't remember where everything goes back to Anyway I got everything all figured out and the car sits the way it should and feels a lot better on the road. So, just as a reference to all those that read this post.....

THE FRONT SWAYBAR CAN BE INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN AND WILL RAISE THE FRONT END OF YOUR CAR!!!!!

Hopefully someone will find this post and be able to recognize what happened and not beat their head off of a wall like I did.
