    Do you mean the heavier sway bar would fix it? Or did you mean to put in a link?

    I meant ACE would stop it.

    but the cost might be a touch much.

    So in total the lift is 80mm.
    How does the flex look like together with the schocks?

    it gave me 75mm of lift all up ( a little sag due to weight of d2)
    when i got the suspenion kit i got the longer shocks so i have never topped them out (that i know of )

    Keep an eye on the front spacers, they get chewed out at the top end. Rear's don't seem to suffer that fate. I used 50mm spacers for a while and then just decided to go with custom made springs in the length that I wanted.

    The only other thing that I liked about the spacers was that the damped things a bit and the ride become quieter on bumpy roads.

    Cheers,

    Franz
