Rear Sway Bar On

[bradd15]

Going to put my RM Racing rear sway bar on tomorrow, then I am taking the car out to Holtville raceway(small roadcourse in So Cal). This should help a ton in autox. Also breaking in some brand new Falken Azenis sports. Just thought I'd share.

So it's not on yet? Are you going to put the front on?

Front one is on, that took forever(3hours) last Saturday. Can't wait to race some v8's coming out of the corners at this track. Probably get passed all over the place but who cares.

Is the front really that hard? I'm about to put mine on. Got any tips?

Yep, first you don't have to have the tires a foot off the ground, just about 6 inches depending on your size. Which ever side you decide to pull the bar out from take that wheel off, its alot easier. I chose the driver side, took off both mounting plates. I used a long breaker bar to get those bolts off, my tiny a** wrachet was too small. Also, you need a 12 or 14(i forgot,get both) monkey wrench to hold one side of the bolts which are attached to the end links while you loosen the other side with the wrachet. Lastly, I screwed up one of the mounting clamp holes for the bolts on the driver side so be careful with that(that took me an hour with no solution to fix the problem). I'm sure you know most of this but hope any helps, have fun.

OMFG those end links were impossible to get off. Such a stupid design. Had to use impact wrench, would have been impossible without it.

I screwed up the rear say bar end link on the driver side so I had to replace it(stripped the end nut next to the bushing) That was 17 bucks down the drain, this crap better be worth it.

I screwed up the rear passenger end link, have to replace it too. How did you end up getting the nut off?

I am so not looking forward to putting on sway bars. But I want em on though

I punked out and took it to the local performance shop with the new end link. They have a lift and tools which can reach inside the control arm to get the other end of the end link out. It sucks but at least I got the front on. I know I suck.
