a thought occured to me overnight. if i built a washer to insert between the adjusting nut and the spring with a tab that connects to the original link bar, then i can use the stock lower control arm and sway bar. this would locate in the original position and solve the problem i think. i'm going to do some measurements and make up a design. what do you think of my solution?
btw, when i first contacted zzperformance i specified that i had a 2004 gtp, just so this problem wouldn't happen, great customer support huh.
