I was thinking about this the other day...wonder if the front clips for the front sway bar are breaking like the back ones were? Can someone with this prob check their front sway bar?

well i had the car a year now and have 30k miles on it (I travel alot) so i would think they would have settled by now. You think i should just get some coil overs and adjust them to make them even?

Just a quick question, do you park on an uneven surface or flat surface? I know sometimes when often parking in uneven surfaces it seems that springs settle to the position that the car is parked.

if the appearance is that important, you could get coilovers and adjust it. But since the shocks are constantly moving while driving and weight distributes differently, I personally would rather make sure my car rides properly than looks good standing still. Unless you're doing some serious car shows, I'd just make sure the car is doing what it's supposed to do.

i am just concerned about the durability of my car... if there is a problem i want to fix it... not for looks now.... i just don't want any wheels rubbing up on the wheel well.... if it is a problem i would like to correct it before putting springs, coil overs and stuff... but so far it sounds normal so i'm not to worried. thanks for the inputs
