thanks for the reply "jazzer", i was just a little concerned i did something wrong with the installation. i was unaware of the amount of noise. i am going to try and adjust the length of them. i think they are a little short i tried to match the stock arm length, but they seem to have the driveshaft at more of an angle than before.

Jazzer, quick question for ya plz:

How benifical would it be to just to change the front & rear sway bars? I know anything extra is a plus but i was wondering how much better the car would handle or would suspension work be see more than just doing a sway bar?

Thanks.... (don't mean to threadjack)

jr...

One can adjust the UCA to address an improvement in pinion angle for a better lauch. When you take off, the axle will rotate upward a small amount and leave you with a less desirable angle to the driveshaft. I am not a drag guy*, but I think 1~2 degrees is preferred by those who 1/4 mile their rides.

sonicx...

Changing the sway bars would not necessarily be benificial and may HARM your ability to corner if you go too stiff or replace with too heavy a bar. Read my post #2 above for a bit more info.
