i would just like to see a pic of the install if anyone has one
umm no i don't have one, all it is, is two bushing in the middle with metal bands holding them down. please note that the bolt that holds them down changed sizes like 3 times in third gen cars and may have changed again with the larger bar in late 3rd gen. it is advised that you replace your end-link bushings with polyurethane ones, energy suspension makes them, and are available at most auto stores.
and if your have a problem JUST TELL US. I did the front myself, it a royal pain.
catch ya later
alright man there you go.

viper is that your car? if so why did you take the sub-frame all the way out. i gotta put a bigger bar in the front, compared to the stock one that things a monster.
no thats not mine, but that person did it for ease of installation (which really isn't much easier anyway.

are the front sway bars worth the pain??? do they help alot??
^^ if you haven't got one stock, I'd have to say yes.
and if you have an older FE1 bar its def worth the upgrade.
What if you have a 95 without anykind of bars?
I got a 03 with the LS-Sport package, I have a swaybar stock they say. Would I benefit from having one?
Thanks,

^^ then it is time for some bars front and rear. i am happy with my stock 24mm bar and the 26mm rear bar
see ya!
Good write up LittleBill, i thought it woul be much easier to install than that, but hopefully i will be getting frotn and rear sways installed soon.
Thanks again for the info, helped me alot.

Im premium since January, but why doesnt it say that?????
I just installed the front bar.... it took the better part of a day. Paint in the ass... especially trying to get the two center clamps to tighten down on the larger bar without stripping the threads. When I got it together the end of the bar on the passenger side is about 3 mm from hitting the small clamp on the outer CV boot... make sure you pay attention to this or you could be in big trouble when the boot seal breaks. Another thing you will run into it the Chilton and Haynes books disagree over the entire proceedure - everything from nut torque specs to what bolts need to be removed is different.
The instructions say the included end links are poly bushings. Is this correct? Is there something better we should be using for the end link?
