Comptech Sway Installtion Question Please Clarify

NOW I READ THE FORUM ON HOW TO INSTALL THE SWAYS AND IT SAID SOMETHING THAT I HOPE SOMEONE CAN CLEAR UP. IT SAYS THAT IT WAS TORQUED/TIGHTENED AFTER THE CAR WAS LOWERED TO THE GROUND. HOW CAN I TIGHTEN THE NUT IF THE CAR IS LOWERED TO THE GROUND , YOU CANT GET UNDER THE CAR THAT WAY IT HAS TO BE JACKED UP. OR IS IT WHAT I THINK AND THEY MEAN LOWER THE CAR TO THE GROUND THEN REJACK IT UP AND TIGHTEN IT.

What's with the Caps?? Anyway, I will highly recommend you do this on a lift because accessing the factory sways is quite difficult since you have your car lowered already. To loosen the sways, you will need a wratchet and an "allen" key. Good luck!

im thinking of getting HR OE's to replace my comptech springs cause im planning to order an OEM kit too. do you have any problems scraping due to your kit and i heard rumors that HR springs tend to sag in the rear??

also do you have any complaints with your HR OE's with your OEM kit???

The bolts are facing down even once I lowered the car back down I could get under my car, which has HR Sports, to use a torque wrench and tighten the sway bar brackets.

paultl: i never scrap at all with my h&r OE springs and OEM kit. The clearence in the front from the bottom of the lip to the floor is almost the same as some stock cars. Yea our cars are built like 4x4's. as far as the sag i got a 1 inch gap in the back and 1.5 inch gap in the front. it lowers about .5 inches front and back and you know how our stock the front is bigger gap then the rear.
