Finally getting around to installing a sway bar. Anyway, I have a couple quick questions:

1. It seems like 3/8 bolts are a little smaller than the original rivets. Is it best to upsize the hole for 7/16? Or, should I just use 3/8 and not worry about it?

2. I ended up with 1" lowering springs in the front. Would I be better off using factory height brackets or lowering brackets? Or, will it really not make any difference?

Thanks!
