I need HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just had cobb springs installed on my 05 sti. No other suspension problems.
I drive home from the shop and go at an angle up my drive way and i hear a clunk.
I pull in, look under the back and find that the 1.5 inch bar that connects my rear sway bar to hte end link has flipped downward. The back right that flipped downward has lowered that car so the right rear tire is almost tucked. While the left rear is raised about 4-5 inches. I jacked up the right side only in an effort to flip this piece and I heard pops in the front. I inspected and found nothing but the left rear has now flipped downward as well. Any ideas so i can get this car rolling? I have to get to work tomorrow. Thx

Plz tell me how to post pix and i can show you all

Its says the pix are too large any idea how to degrade them to a resonable size?

you can use photobucket.com to display your pictures and copy paste the code, OR you can even upload the pics after you click "post reply" by usin the "attatchment" feature

it soundl like that youll just have to disconnect the sway bar from the end links and reinstall it

This is a pretty common problem on the early STi's. As has been stated, you can loosen things up and flip the endlinks back. For a permanent solution, I would recommend stiffer endlinks such as the Poltec ones.
