You mean sway bars or strut bar?

Not that I've installed either. You said 'bar' though and not 'bars' so I thought maybe you meant the strut tower bar / brace.

bitkahuna, I am actually looking for tips and instruction for installing the sway bar. Steve told me it should take no more than 45 minutes to install... and its replace an existing factory sway bar.

If I remember it correctly, the front sway bar is easy to replace. Just like what Steve told you, take off the old one and put on the new on. However, the rear one is kind of tricky because there is something blocking in front of it that you need to remove some parts in order to reach it.

There's *2* sway bars in the package, a front and a rear one. Good luck doing the install yourself. I had my dealer do it for $170 I think it was.

If you could drive your car to Los Angeles, I will give you 50% discount. That's only for Marty. Local shop could install those for like 50 bucks or something.
