We were also swapping out the 10 bolt anyways so it was a good time to change it all out.

It's avialable if you want it. Make me an offer.
That's exactly the brand. He also sells on eBay.

I'm also lowering the car. Were the links hitting the floor at the point it starts going up over the rear? I'm at a point now where I could possibly modify the floor for extra clearance.

I'll send you a PM on your old 4 bar.

Larry,

Here's some pics.

Ride height when we bought Beth's car.


Where it was rubbing and angle of links at that ride height.


You can see where the links were hitting. Please excuse the dust. I have a half mile gravel driveway...


Ride quality was obviously poor with it setup this way. Though we never adjusted it to see where it could be before we decided to replace it. I sent you a PM with some more details on our experience with the car after we bought it.
