noob question about suspension

Ok , i was riding on 350z htechs, and this weekend i got on stillen sway bars , front and rear, plus rear camber kit......noticed the car raised a bit then it was in the front and rear , my question, does my suspension has to resettle again or does it has to do with the sway bar kit

Are you noticing more wheel gap, or that your bumper is higher off the ground? if its the latter its probably because you corrected the negative camber created by lowering it.

When you noticed the difference was it right after you installed the sways? Sway bars have nothing to do with alignment FYI! Drive your car a few blocks it will settle back to it's previous height. Enjoy the ride and get SPL a-arms for the front so you don't waste your tires....Gary

Yes im noticing a bigger wheel gap...., so thats the only thing i could think of what u said about the camber correcting the negative, which made me think that everything had to resettle once again

Sways definitely have no effect, your camber would have to be really different to make much of a noticeable difference... Get it aligned and see how you like it, but it sounds like you may need to change your setup
