Maybe not mechanics, but a welder. Its pretty straightforward.

I would say find a perfomance shop and use them.

So I got home from vacation this morning at 5 am and walk in to my house and am greeted by this:

Couldnt resit so i opened it up.

First impressions DANG the front sway bar is THICK, the back is also quite a bit larger. Also the red finish is perfect, not to bright and flashhyyy.

Install was a breeze took about an hour.

The old stock one:

(i know my mufflers are aligned like sh*t, but thats the best i can do without it rattling, MAC has crappy fitment btw..)

Front:

Installed impressions: Seriously the best suspension mod i have done so far. I think it works really well in conjunction with all my other suspension stuff (j&m lca, mm cc plates, tokico shocks and struts and frpp c springs) and has SERIOUSLY reduced body roll. It really does feel like a new car. BUT If youre working on upgrading your suspension, this should be one of the last things you do.

On a side note: the way my j&m lcas position the rear sway bar you can see it while you are drving behind me. So now i have pretty red one.

Also, the hardware included is all crap, go buy new bolts for the rear.

A little update:
things are going to be really slow for upgrades for the next few weeks because of school starting again and me working less hours.
But my goal for the end of the year is New rear calipers and the Bear 13 inch rear upgrade, new LOWER springs, and 9" wide bullitts up front with new tires.

Also need to get it aligned and registered soon.
