Sway bar should not alter ride height at all, unless it's binding in it's mounts.

Default No change in height, shouldn't be any. Install bars while on muffler rack, much
easier and no binding. Weight of car should be on tires while swap is being done.

not exactly true - the bars can act kind of like a "leaf spring" to load the suspension downward

Properly designed and installed sway bars should not do this.

Default I wouldnt think it should either, but I was just checking. I remember someone...
awhile back mentioned that they caused his car to sit a little higher. Just wanted to know if this was the norm. Dont want it any higher..Thats all.
