    so here's what's been going on since i got my coilovers from zzperfromance.
    although i appreciate the solution given of using the previous generation lower control arms, i have been doing some measuring and have made a solution i am going to try.
    by using two "C" type clamps which replicate the original sway bar link strut connection (adjustable up or down in position) as well as a new link bar which is adjustable in length ( using rod ends to connect to the sway bar and strut), i will be able to use both my new generation lower control arm and sway bar.
    in pricing a set of previous generation lower control arms and gmmp sway bar, i can complete the coil over conversion and save about $300 in cost. i have a compG so i already have a strong sway bar, no need to get a new one.
    btw i will replace the lower control arm bushings and ball joints on monday. they are worn somewhat, but i might as well replace them. zzp front and rear strut tower braces, and zzp rear trailing arms are to be ordered today. kyb mud boots with bump stops were ordered yesterday (not included with these coilovers...bad!), new tires (goodyear assurance A/S for the winter) are being installed today.
    as i live on vancouver island, british columbia, canada. i have to wait 2-3 weeks for parts to arrive, this will take a while to complete. i will provide pictures and drawings of my solution when done so be patient with me and my parts suppliers.
