Spacers on front sway bar?

May 23rd, 2013, 08:13 AM

I've heard of people using spacers to lower the front sway bar in 4th gens. I need to do this for clearance and have a couple questions. Is there any limit to how thick of a spacer I could run? I'm thinking I would need a 1-2" spacer, any problem with this as far as clearance with the tie rods and such? Also, would I need different end links?

IIRC I used 3" spacers on my car so 1-2" shouldn't be a problem. The tightest clearance I had was btw the sway bar and the tie-rods. I ended up changing the end links to gain the clearance needed but in reality you wouldn't need to change them b/c it only "scrubbed" with the suspension completely extended and the wheel turned all the way one direction.

only pics I could find...
