Ride Height

[ADub64]

I am still having issues with sway bar fitment on the car. I believe part of the problem is ride height. I have 620# 1" drop coils on the car. I did not cut them. You can't see the dimensions in the pic, but the gap between the UCA and the bumpstop is only about an 1.5" at ride height. This causes the suspension to sit mostly compressed and leaves little room for travel. Does this seem right?

Do you feel it bottom out???You can always cut the bumpstop down

The sway bar was rubbing before. I haven't driven it without the sway bar yet, so I can't say if it is. Wouldn't I increase the chance of upper ball joint failure if I removed some of the bump stop?

i have the same 620 coils with a coil cut out and dont have any problems,been that way for about 15 years

I took 1.5 coils out of my 620s. I was riding on the bump stop until I cut it off. My swaybar never rubbed, and still doesn't.

This sway bar thing has turned out to be quite an anomaly. The bar meets Addco specs. My frame and control arms meet factory specs, but for some reason this bar will not fit. Addco has offered to adjust the bar to my dimensions, so I am trying to get the suspension where I want it before I have the sway bar adjusted.

My stops are out front and rear. He a pic (up several times) with 620's in at Lowes Motor Speedway and no problems even on the banks with my low stance.
