I have a feeling this gentleman from NY that you want install pics from is just blowing smoke with his extensive mod list. In other words - I call bull**** on anything done to his car. If he even has a car.
Supposedly has an LS1 with T56 swap. And urethane motor mounts. And ultra racing catalog of parts. And BC coilovers. And a wood grain kit. And what not. I have nicely asked for pics multiple times to prove myself wrong. And no comment has been made in return.And no pic either.
So, again, I am no dreamer but I can tell you - there shall be no install thread of any kind with any pics. Prove me wrong and I will admit my instincts were baseless and that I made a crude error in judgement. And take a public flogging on this very LS forum.

I would have liked to to see me wrong, frankly. Aaah well.
As for AFS sensor, the whole sensor can be taken apart and put back together. There's not really anything to that sensor - a few springs and a few contact points for the springs and a connector. If you are wary, I'd disconnect the physical linkage and hang it off the connector. If you are not, this is a good time to take the sensor apart, clean it and reseal it watertight with some RTV instead of the little rubber gasket it has from the OEM and then reconnect the linkage with some good grease lubing the joint.

RKW Posted an excellent diagram on the front stabilizer bar specs for proper installation.
Does anyone have a diagram or know the torque specs for the rear swaybar install for the endlinks, bushings etc?

I ordered my sport sway bar and new sport bushings on mylparts for a total of around $223. I'll be installing sometime next week and will report if I feel a difference. I'm really just trying to eliminate body roll, as thats the only thing holding me back from coining this car "the perfect car". My struts are still original and have 155,000 miles on them, so clearly thats a big contributor to the body roll as well. Next summer I'll be installing new struts all around with OEM sport struts to give the car a more firm and secure feel.

Just installed my sway bar today and the car glides without interruption on the highway! It really is a noticeable difference, although not a major difference. I'm sure the new sway bar end links have helped too since the old ones were pretty shot.
Total cost me about $260 for the sport sway bar, end links, and sport bushings. I used Beck Arnley end links since they a lot cheaper and OEM quality.

Thanks for the update. Might have to put this on my list of upgrades down the road. Just hit 90k on mine and besides going through typical maintenance, I've been checking all bushings out and so far things look fine. Its nice things don't need attention but at the same time, doesn't give me a reason to upgrade
