That sway bar is certainly a street sweeper.
Indian Automotive make a sway bar that does not get lower as the car does.

You'll notice as the front end gets closer the ground, so does the standard sway bar, because of it's shape. We use one that is fastened to the beam
and it stays away from the road, a real plus.

And how does it ride down there. I have to do some creative driving sometimes in mine, but it isn't as low as yours. You must drag the roadkill round
with that swaybar!

Ha Ha Macca's
I was driving into Macca's at Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast (the one near Cotton Tree) and it has a real steep angle to drive into, so I thought
no problem i'll just take it an an angle, but it was too steep and I lifted the front right tyre and the rear left which was just spinning free, I
has to get one of my mates to push a bit so I could get some power to the ground, made a good screech I tell you!

it's not low enough. I see no sparks. Me and a friend were thinking it would be funny to make a couple of brackets for under the bus so you can bolt
sheets of metal on and drive around with constant sparks, then replace as needed. Only for bus's like this though.

Hmm. That would be cool. But don't bolt sheets of metal under there get up a couple of pieces of flint stone and hang them down on springs so they
occasionally hit the ground. The springs with absorb the shock so it's not transfered to the car and the flint stone will shower sparks out the back.

That height looks awesome!! I'd be worried about turning into driveways though... do the fronts rub when turning on uneven ground?

I don't have any tyre rub problems at all (yet), I do run 45 profile fronts though!
The motor is a 1641 with a mild cam, smooth motor but there are plans for either a well hidden WRX motor or a 2.7 flat six corvair which is already in
my shed!
