or put it on and see if it makes a difference.  I can't imagine its so heavy it would sag the front end that much

Agree with N PRGRES.  If it does, you can put in coil spring spacers.  They make them for top and bottom locations.

the car sits 2" lower now with the new suspension . i am guessing the girder must be around 25kg which would be good to get rid of . i am going to remove it just wondered if anyone had done it and how .
