Damn! Thank you for the clear explanation.

Guess I'll do it next weekend and hope I don't cause harm driving it this way through out the week

No problem! and i can't help but notice, your location says Riverside, CA. I'm down there occasionally, maybe we'll run into each other one of these days! Windshield banner says Neck breaker or Flossy kings.

Just shorten the endlinks. I didn't need to modify/buy anything. Just twist them shorter

Just unbolt the 3 bolts on the top, unbolt your endlinks, twist your camber plate (while holding the springs) then re-install. (Don't forget to tighten the camber bolts! 4 bolts on top) Then Voila!
i need to try this as well, ive got a clunk from the front drivers side..

have you tried tilting the sway bar up a little, and shortening the end links?

Update. To make the clunking noise go away (Without taking everything apart.) Open the hood, jack the section of the car the noise is coming from up, and tighten the bolt right under the dampening knob. For some reason, the threads are very greasy, and it seems to come loose every now and them. Particularly when i hit large bumps frequently.
