Anyone running MM adjustable rear lower control arms and still using there stock rear sway bar?
I just finished up this setup and the rear sway bar hangs really close to the ground.
Tried flipping it, but I can't because of the design of the arms mounting plates on the control arms

Thanks

I've got a set that have the brackets for the rear sway bar, but I haven't put them in yet. I don't even have a rear sway bar on the back right now. How low does it hang? Low enough to hit speed bumps and stuff? Got any Pics?

i measured but forgot the exact # of inchs but i rememeber it was low. I'll go take a measurment again today and let u know. I just remember the first time i backed out of my driveway after i changed out the control arms (i had the mm regular arms) and the sway bar hit on the curb. So now i have to back down on an angle.

I have the MM adjustable lowers with the stock sway bar. I didn't notice that mine was any lower after the install and I've never hit the swaybar on the ground....but I have other things like a shoddy x-pipe that sits lower and i hit the ground pretty frequently.

i measured mine up and i have about 2 3/4" maybe a bit more between the ground and the lowest part that hangs down on the bar. I am running 255/40/17 tires and a 94 hollow rear bar which is a bit bigger. It's freaking low.
