They are, everything i have handled from them has been garbage, they seem to focus too much on making their powder coat shiney than making their parts decent, i mean their 5 link is a joke. Its just a glorified panhard bar. I know im not alone in my feelings either.

I tried flipping it over just to double check and there is no way it can bolt up. Like a previous poster said its the curve of the arm that hits the CA so it can not be bolted up. Any other suggestions besides buying new CA's or removing it the sway bar since someone thinks they are P.O.S.!!!

Are the arms bent at all? Got any more pics of them from the side?

I find it hard to believe that is the way steed intended it to sit. Something doesn't seem right

The arms aren't bent, they have been like this from day one and I really haven't been too concerned about it since it is not a daily driver. I will take a side profile pic. I spoke to Steeda and sent them some pics and they said everything looked properly installed but they did agree that they have never seen a sway bar hang this low and if it wasn't hitting anything they would not worry about it! It's not their car either!

I dunno...I tend to kinda think that if something seems like it's wrong, then chances are it is.

That seems really low. I have adjustable arms on my car, and the bar is up nice and high

I felt the same way when i first got my road race arms from MM, they are light and look to be billet aluminum, but they guarantee they are good till 600rwhp and if they fail they will replace them and anything else damaged at no cost. Bold statement that I would expect no less from MM. We'll see how they stand up to 420rwhp and a few 6k slick launches.

I have seen pictures of them bent. Why I asked the question if they were
