[MENTION=16648]TanTop94[/MENTION] yeah it was on jack stands on all for corners, high yes, but we've had it even higher before. By about another 8-12 inches higher.
My old springs are new/used H&R SPORT SPRINGS, they are very nice springs and have less than 300 miles on them. I just need to wipe them clean tomorrow. The should be perfect looking with only minor scratching, if any. I bought them from Maxium Motorsports.

Letting the Jacking begin!
Starting to get into it a bit! accessing the sit-chew-ation!
Control arms OUT!!!
New ones to go IN!!!
New Springs IN! and LCAs IN
This sleeve grommet thang Moves so if you ever have to put in these LCA's just know that the sleeve can be lube with some penatration oil and then you'll get enough slack to put it in place.
THIS IS A B!TCH TO GET OUT! Of course I held the flashlight while [MENTION=18017]SCHNAKE[/MENTION] used the air hammer to destroy it out...this is the right side. We ate lunch and bought penatrating oil and the left just popped out. So if you ever replace this BUY THE TOOL!!! that removes them and save yourself a headache.
TIME FOR SWAYBAR!
ON TO THE FRONT!
ALL FINISHED Letting her GENTLY down........
It was a long day! But the payoff on the drive home was amazing! The lower control arm made a huge difference. I think I could feel the power actually get to the wheels. It just feels more direct to the point also the car turns really nice. I really enjoyed the drive home which is about 25 miles. I couldn't really get into it much as my trunk was filled all the boxes and old swaybars and other crap. So today I hope to take it for a spin without all the crap-N-daback!

I think the eibach sway bars sit low no matter the lcas. With my j&m lcas its really close to the ground.

Why would they make LCAs so that the swaybar does..Why is fit so hard to figure with these aftermarket parts..weird and frustrating.

[MENTION=14656]Musturd[/MENTION] Thanks Man! Yeah I like it better. Too bad I gotta watch that swaybar now..stressful.. Believe me the car is filthy, she needs a bath. I was going to drive it to a car wash today, but then I realized I might not be able to do that anymore...

[MENTION=15502]Ferocious[/MENTION] Yes, the difference is nice and the ride is even more comfortable now, due to the LCAs. It was weird after we placed them in..cause with the adjustable control arms in the rear, we had to lower the left one alot. Now they are pretty much dead even on height. It's so cool and easy to adjust the control arms and you don't even need jackstands to adjust them...just a tough 1/2 ratchet.

They will no longer take my car at any of the washes around my because of the wide rear tires, how low it is and the sway bar

I'll probably get used to it. But right now I am thinking it is to low. I need to drive it more and get used to it. Height wasn't what I expected. I thought it would be an OEM fit.
check my suspension post and view the pics. Maybe the same as yours.

I have Bilstein HD shocks on all 4 corners and they are very, very nice.
