I recently put some global west lowering springs on the front of my 65 coupe. Now as I try to install the sway bar it actually binds so that I cannot get the center frame bracket/bushings bolted up. Do I need to shorten the endlinks?

I have the 620 drop coils and it fit but I had to work it a bit. Sorry but don't know what the other spring you mentioned are like. I remember that when I put on my sway bar thinking that it was not going to fit at the time. Got it on though.Richard.

I have the endlinks tightened down and almost out of thread and there is no way the frame mounts will bolt up. The sway bar actually is hitting on the frame rail. I tried it jacked up and down on the ground. The springs are a 1" drop.

I installed frame mounts while up on lift. I then lowered car to ground and measured the end link length with sway bar ends parallel to the ground. I ended up buying new end links 1/2" shorter and all fits well. I did also keep the end links even length while tightening on the ground. Thanks for all the help!
