DIY: Sway bar installation (front)
 
I was struggling with the front End links 17 nut, it was harder to unbolt then the rear end links. Sprayed WD40, left it for an hour and it was loosen up.

It took longer to remove the under shroud than to switch the front sway bar. :shakes head:

For those who wants to DIY, do this on the next oil change.

I bought Craftsman Impact Wrench but it was too heavy. Which 18v impact do you have Ken?

Im thinking of getting a smaller/lighter impact wrench/driver?

Hi Chris,

Do you still think that Hotchkis bars are too rigid (especially the front bar) ?
I'm looking for FR+RR bars with stock springs and struts

:tiphat:

:icon18: :tup: thanks for playing.

and yah, leave the rear stock for now. the front only in mid- setting should make the car feel real good.

Dragon_Ball_Z 10-31-2014 11:24 AM

I replaced the back already :(

Dragon_Ball_Z 10-31-2014 11:28 AM

I put the front on the middle setting and the back on the first hole

oh...just take it easy for a while when you drive cause the car will respond differently.. honestly the rear bar is fine on this car, just the front needs a tad bit of stiffening.

btw my car is stock height stock dampers/springs, nismo wheels with RE11's.

I will, recommend alignment? I am also lowered on tein springs and sport wheels. I just put springs on last week and haven't aligned either
