hopefully your friend drives off a cliff in that engineering wonder before he has kids. As the saying goes the gene pool needs some clorine. What kind of engineering moron do you have to be to do something like that.

i think you guys are being to harsh... the guy who did the swap did it on his own... and for doing it on your own you run into prob. or things you wouldnt know how to fix.
i see what he did wrong. he made the k member far to low. its an easy fix. all he would ahve to do is rebuild the k member and that sway bar "thing" would be eliminated...
you cant be made at a guy for trying for god sake!!!

hardly being too harsh.

not only did he lowered the steering rack, he also lowered the mounting points for the lower A arm. double suicide. he can kiss his double wishbone suspension, steering geometry, and ground clearance goodbye.

if all you gotta do is make things fit, then u wouldn't need engineers in this world.
