Keep the car at normal height (i.e. don't jack it up).
Slide under the car with a 12mm wrench, 12 mm socket, 14mm wrench, and 14mm socket. You may want to wear eye protection,
crap kept falling in my eyes and my car only had 4,000 miles on it at the time of the install. You will need to
undo 4 bolts to remove the stock sway bar, a bolt at each end and a bolt by each bushing. Once the sway bar is
removed grease the new bushings with the supplied grease and place them in the stock mounts that were on the stock
bar. Slide back under the car and situate the new bar. Have a friend helping to hold the bar in place helps a lot.
Get the two end bolts started and then start the bolts by the bushings. Tighten all of the bolts up and you are
done.

<b>APPEARANCE:</b>
<br>There is nothing better than a bright baby blue sway bar. ;) It even has a sticker on it that proudly proclaims, "Our bars stay harder, longer." It is a sway bar, so you don't really see it.
<br><br>
<b>PERFORMANCE:</b>
<br>Back end seems tighter, but I haven't really pushed my RS very hard in the corners yet. I have the bar set at 18mm currently. I will update this area with more results after I have time to have fun in the corners.

<br>Notes: The first image shows the adjustment holes for the Whiteline Bar. Holy crap the last picture makes my
exhaust look huge! :)
