I'm no expert, but I believe you will end up with the ends of your swaybars pointing upward. That will put the bars in a bind. If I understand correctly you'll need some adjustable links so you can bring the swaybar ends parallel.
so i would want to have the sway bar ends pointing straight backwards? and should i do this by setting my ride height with the links disconnected and then measure with the car on the ground?

My Alta endlinks (rear) are as short as they could go and the sway bar still cants upwards a bit...
I have the TSW springs so the car is lowered about one inch and the swaybars are slanted upwards. Will the ride be effected if I take out the preload and will I get a little more traction on the front wheels?
