Ok, here goes...

So I changed my rear sway bar. Afterward, my rear is really really really high. I mean it looks SUV like its so high. I am assuming I need to adjust SelfLev down, but how? I looked under the car and there is what looks like a U shaped bar with 2 screws holding onto the sway bar. Seeing how this is the only thing I touched aside from the other mountings, this prob. is what I need to somehow adjust down.

Can someone tell me how one goes about doing this?

Second thing, I tried to change my front springs, but am at a loss of what to do with the S EDC wire up on top of the strut mount. I pulled the cap, and unclipped the tiny clip, only to find a 10mm screw (with the wire in the center). Do I have to unscrew this? I guessed so, and tried, but no way could I muster the force ness to loosen that thing. Thoughts?

The self-leveling takes its reading off of the sway bar, so that is why it has changed. I attached a doc that gives the official procedure on setting the height - I wouldn't follow it to the letter but it'll give ya the idea.

The cable is integral to the shock - it doesn't come off, you just remove all the plastic stuff from it. I had the same trouble trying to get the thing off until I gave up on it.


Edit: BTW - I think I remember seeing you were going to change the waterpump and some other stuff on your car? Pay somebody to do it - what a pain in the rear.
