3" drop, seems like a lot.

I believe the sway bar would rotate, changing the handling characteristics.

As the sway bar is raised by the lowering springs or coil overs , so will the attachment points on the strut, the lowering is in the springs, not the lower part of the strut

Ah ok that makes a lot more sense now. The coilovers i have are a 2 to 4 in drop so I'll be at 2 in for a while, or at least until I decide to throw more money at the suspension

Oldblue

That depends on the strut part of the coil overs Swaybar mounting tab.

Ok, looking at my schedule I wont be able to safely test fit my coilovers until July 10th (it is my daily so I really want to make sure it will work). I'll order the rack spacers and at that time I'll take pics and measurements and, if necessary, make a new thread for this project. I really appreciate all the help from everyone! Thanks again!

Wish the border was open, I’d come over and help with the installation!

When the rack gets shimmed up, does anything need to be done with the intermediate steering shaft?

Oldblue

No, it should slide into itself , the spacers aren’t that much , maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch

I appreciate the offer! I will definetly post more pics on the black hhr pics thread after I lower it (and clean it, I love black cars but they are a pain in the ass to keep ckean)

You should start your own thread in mods suspension, the black pics is for pics only.
