If you are like me, then you heard all the reports about just how easy it is to put in a sway bar. But if you are also like me, you still wonder if those reports are true. So, in the interest of knowledge, here are the pictures to help you when it comes time to upgrade to Neutral handling.

Here is the stock bar on the driver's side. Note the two bolts you must remove. They require a 12mm or 14mm ratchet (I forget - sorry). Piece of cake.

Here is the new 20mm sway bar bolted in place. Look how beefy it is compared to the stock unit! WOW! The hardest part of this install was getting those brass clamps to close over the new bushings. This required a second person with some plyers to hold the clamp closed while I threaded the bolt into the car.

And here is the passenger side for reference. The two bolts are easily seen, and you should have no troubles. Guess it was just as easy as they all say. Good luck to you!!!
