ST Suspension Sway Bar

[konicom]

Hi all,

I just bought a rear sway bar and before i brake all the rusty bolts off and try to put it in i thought i'd better aske the experts.
Is it normal that it looks different than the stock (im concerned if they sent me the right one) aside of course from the dia. It appears that the stock sway bar is profiled slightly different. The new one is pretty much straight except for the drive shaft relieve bend.

Also, do i even want to look for the links anywhere else but the dealer? If so please let me know where

Thanks
Peter

First off, i would throw the allen head bolts they give u away, and get a metric grade 8 bolt the same length. You might not even need grade 8,but better safe then sorry.Also the rear sway bar links,I found a place that is dirt cheap but I must of erased it or something from my favorites. They were 25 each. I cant remember where. I will keep looking. The dealer was like 70 each or something. And yes the bar is straight other than the driveshaft hump. Did u get green? When i ordered mine they said powdercoated gray, but when i got it it was green.

Yeah, do that. Now they are 3/4" or 20mm... They should be green, they have changed their colors now, I got the grey, but traded them for green later on, and these things do wonders... trust me....

yes - mine is green.... thanks guys..... please keep looking for that place with the links.... you are right - the dealer wants close to $70.00 for a full kit...... and they asked me for the VIN number ???!!!!!
Too bad i cant get that thing in for tommorows race.... im affraid to mess with it without having new links available.
