    As the title says, just installed a dorman sway bar, 97-03 LCAs KYB struts and ZZP springs on a 06 GT. Using the provided endlinks. Any ideas?

    Gotta take out your sway bar and flip it. Then it shouldn't hit your down pipe.

    take the catalytic converter off and go with an offroad downpipe.

    The sway bar had directions for which side went where. Should I disregard them?

    you just might have it installed up side down. when it does hit the down pipe flipping it is the fix.

    none of your other suspension work has a thing to do with it either.
