Hi. Was the sway bar a custom ordered piece? If so what type of material is it (chrome moly, or mild steel). I am working on something like that for my Mustang and any info would be a great help. Thanks Scott

Good news!! Got my frame back from being welded up this week, and my coilovers arrived yesterday :D :D

The frame. Just going to clean up a couple spots on it and off to the powder coaters it goes.

Now hopefully the powder coaters can do a pretty quick turn around for me. And I need to get the coilovers valved, but then it's just reassembly! (it sounds so easy in writing) New goal is Oct 16th.

Sway bar arm clearance.

Just wondering why you did not use Speed-Tech lower control arms to match the uppers, instead of the Ride-Tech lowers.

The standard Speedtech lowers are set up for a regular coil spring, not a coilover. I could've welded brackets to convert, but figured this way was easier. And the Speedtech lowers they use on their subframe have a goofy sway bar end link mount.
