they drop in the front because people slam them too hard... mine was the same - right on the crease. I ended up bogging mine

Looks factory from memory, but that is a Chevette sway bar. If you need more clearance a Gemini one drops down in the middle.

Yes, thats what I've done to mine, however if you want it stiffer again then you would be best to get a whiteline one ex australia.

Well been a tad bizy today missus n stuff went n checked on progress of the engine looking sweet atm and dropped the flywheel off the machine shop. The guy at the shop was like wtf's this out of lol as he never seen a rotary one lol so I hope I can put the engine in by the end of my holidays
Tiny question how do the dash come out? Realy don't want to get overspray on it and paint the steel trime from dash to window at the same time grr looks frustrating

So I was thinking as the chevette has got a different accelerator package then the Gemini would it be a good idear to swap them over? Just thinking this cause the plastic bracket in the peddle is almost broken, I guess it would tidy up the bay a little bit, but I'm not sure if a gem cable will be long enough
Next door neighbour having a pissup can't sleep. Grrr

Dash comes off with bolts snd clips under dash, some are a prick to get to... I just masked mine up when painting.
Got any pics of the gem accel setup, I was going to use the chevette one for my engine but Gem may be easier hookup. Gaz
