Default Re: Lowered cars... improve your ride...

The sway bar is essentially an extra spring that should be working or helping mostly when cornering or leaning. The sway bar linkage, well the whole sway bar system, is fixed. Lowering completely takes the sway bar system outside it's designed position. I had no idea how bad it was until installing one of Mikes links. It seems from my brief observation that on a lowered car the tension on the bar and linkage interferes with shock travel. The bar takes the forces instead of the shocks. I really don't know. I just know that any lowered car will ride better once this situation is corrected based on preliminary results. At this point I would say "just do it". I'm still in shock ..... really!
