Thanks Expo, I'll file that diagram. How the heck are you posed to get those endlinks off. Having to twist one way with a 14mm wrench and the other with an L key? Thats insane!

PM me on that when it's ready. I'd be interested in an adjustable bar. I was even thinking of making my own. But if you're mak'n it so much the better.

Well, just got done with the install. 5 hours 12 minutes. Prob subtract 30ish minutes from that since I had to jack the car up and down + wheels on/off twice (ran out of time when it got dark last night). It is a mondo biatch to get that sway bar over the steering bars. The Whiteline one is adjustable so the ends of the bar that go into the endlinks are about 1/4" longer than stock. That part was like solving a puzzle.
Oh yah, can anyone enlighten me on how you are posed to torque down the endlink nuts after you lower the car? I was told the suspension should be loaded before you tighen them down. The other problem i see with this is you have to have an L key wrench in the bolt while twisting the nut.
