Had a few more things to torque down but got all 4 wheels back on the ground for the first time since I started this mess with the k-member/EFI swap. It sits a little higher in the front than I was hoping but it's not bad. I'm close to the bottom of the torsion bar adjusters so I'll have to go with drop spindles to get it to sit any lower. It's definitely fine for now. Decided to throw on the sway bar before dealing with the alignment and it didn't cooperate very well. There was no way in hell I was going to get the bolts they supplied to work for the end links. There was hardly room for the nut with it off the car. Add in a 1" wide bar and 1/4" plate for the mount and there was no way in hell that was getting on. I doubted home depot carried anything over 7" but the gf proved me wrong and I got roped into a baking goods shopping spree.

The 8" bolts did the trick but it was pretty late once I readjusted the ride height and took some camber measurements for the alignment. I got 0 degress on one side and +1.5 on the other so I am going to have to mess with my camber bolts. Toe is ... well it's fucked at the moment. I was struggling to get one side lined up with the wheels on. The toe plates aren't much help until I can at least get them close to straight.
With the car show postponed I'm half tempted to just take the damn Ralliart to the Sunday autocross. Especially since it has a new set of Pilot Sports but man was that car disappointing the last time I had it out. Gotta make the call pretty soon because I will need a u-haul trailer. Kinda knew I'd managed to get this ready when I saw the weather forecast at the beginning of the week. Oh well, always forward.
