I installed and just test drove my new sway bars, wow, what a difference in the ride.

Rear: installation was a lot easier than I thought, I didnt remove the wheels, I backed the car up on my Rhino ramps. All the fasteners came out fine, no trouble at all getting the bars out and in. One shock dropped a little, and needed to be pushed up to get the bolts back in. Couldnt have been easier.

Front: Used jack stands, removed wheels. all came off easy, and back together was a snap. How much should you compress the poly bushings on the link ends? I did it by eyeball, and its seems ok, I compressed them till they looked right.

If you have thought about it, do it, its easy to do yourself. It took me about an hour and a half.

Review of the kit: I was dissapointed that IPD shipped Grade 8.8 hardware with the kit, I think the OEM is Grade 10.2, and the higher strength is more corrosion resistant, I tossed the IPD hardware and used High Strength Grade DIN 10.2throughout. Overall the bars are great and are very easy to install!
