The first order of business here should be to find better seats. I've had a few severe episodes of lower back pain and lots of not-so-severe ones, so I have a vague idea what you're going through. Don't be afraid to look outside the GM parts catalog - I've got 1987 Maxima seats in mine now and you couldn't pay me enough to swap the GM originals back in and make me keep them there.cttandy said:My malibu wagon will be lowered, with over sized sway bars to start with. I will play with it from there and see where I go. I need to get the motor done and get it on the road before I know what I want to do. I have a 15 minute ride to and from work on a very windy switch back highway to figure out how I want it. With spine damage, I am a little picky about how they ride. To stiff, I can't walk when I get out, I just kinda wobble around like a drunk.
You'll also like poly/rod rear LCAs a lot better than poly/poly.
Everybody has slightly different approaches to setup, so detail differences in setups are to be expected. But there are some general considerations that are better to work with than fight against.
