My car is lowered so I have no choice but to jack it up. I think it's easier to release some pressure on the end link so I can pull it out and reinsert it back on a different setting. You have to play around with it so it would just fall into place. I don't really know if it can be done w/o jacking up the car.

I have a coupe with the Stillen sways, soft front, med. rear, stock sports suspension, and OEM 18's. I can change settings at all corners without a jack with no problem. I do have to lay down for the rears. As long as you're on flat ground, there will be no tension and aligning the bolt to the next hole is not a problem. If jumping 2 holes, from say soft to hard, un-bolting both the left and right will make it easier if necessary.

thanks for replying. how is the time consumed on doing something like that? like switching the settings lets say, how long would that take? its just simple unbolt and bolt correct?

If access is easy then it shouldn't take long. It took me about an hour because I had to jack mine up to adjust accordingly.

Hey Glenn,

I was going to try and set something up for a Julian run. But I've been so swampped at work and at home prepping for the vacation, i haven't been able to do anything else. I will be at the gtg tonight though. And I will be driving a 680hp 713 tqe. Mercedes today at lunch. As far as Angeles Crest though, the last time I drove that on my 20's I got too much bump steer for it to be any fun. Any way let's talk about a Julian cruise for after I get back from Europe. I'll be back home from that trip on the 5th of August.

Later,

Ray
