Autoexe Sways questions (or any sways)
I have a set of Autoexe sways, front and rear.
Hmm, now how to tell if its the right way to install ?
when I flip it upside down and it seems to be the same, but "expo1" had a problem when he was installing the RB sways, he flipped it upside down, installed, then he has to take it back out and install it again. and I dont want that to happen to me. (cuz it seems that I have to take the radiator hose out b4 I can take the sways out. coolants are expensive )
planning to do the sways change on wednesday.
any help would be appreciated. Thx

Installed, some notes
Autoexe Sway bar has been installed.
There are a few things to pay attention to
The Autoexe Front bar, in fact, can ONLY be installed 1 way. both side has a little tab to tell you which way it goes. after you install it, if you can not turn the bar up and down. you installed it wrong, take it back out and put it the other way.
Also, when installing the end links, you should put it into the bottom hole first (mount to the chassis) before You try to mount it to the bar. much easier that way.
For the Rear bar, there is almost no way that you can flip it upside down, take the old stock bar out, and put it down the floor the way it is, put the new bar next to it, and u will be able to tell which way is the "right" way.
hope it helps future noobs

it feels great. Now the Responds are much quicker. seems to have less body roll. need more tests to confirm. but winter is almost here so might have to wait until next spring
Autoexe sways have 2 settings (2 holes), one is 120%, the other is 140% (compare to stock) I set both front and rear to 140%
I didnt use Stock endlink(its all broken even b4 I took them out, maybe thats why my car handle like **** at the track day, gonna ask and see if I can warranty those later) replaced them with Autoexe endlinks. Its much stronger and shorter than stock endlink. not sure what the effects are tho.
