Did you order your sway bars from Gene or pick them up in the for sale section?

Okay, as promised....some pics...untouched...raw.... found a little dead-end road.
First, although I haven't driven this new "set up" very hard yet, I can tell you....it's damn exciting. "Point and shoot" is now the way it drives. Smooth, no fighting anything, no following ruts...straight down the road and easy to handle in the turns....and QUIET!! I think the alignment had a lot to do with improving the driving experience here. I'm lovin' it like a new car.
Not sure if the suspension has totally settled but it's low enough for me considering some of the places I need clearance.
Some pics:
Had enough?
One more...
I'm just so happy with how this drives now....much more predictable and planted. Hmmm....there is an autocross soon.....
