I'm going to buy the s-tec or something like that sway bars for my car, and I was wondering if there is any problem with putting them in on stock hieght. I don't think there will be, but just in case, I thought I'd ask. Also, anything else I need to know? Thanks.

In fact, they would make the problem worse. The sway bar mounts on the top side of the cross member and the bar rubs on the underside of the car. If you put in spacers or used bigger bushings, you would just be pushing the bar up more toward the underside of the car. The problem is that the bar is bent in such a way that the middle section (between the bushings) is too high so it had to be redesigned to correct the fitment. The new bar? Well, its perfect. P.S. I would buy peformance springs if you were going to go with sway bars. They are only $140-$180 bucks depending on what you get. With some low profile tires, you can complete your go-kart-like ride.
