Hi all, again.

Managed to pick up my whiteline gear through a mate. Gotta love mates rates

front adjustable 22mm swaybar
rear adjustable 24mm swaybar
spherical rod end links for the fronts
heavy duty end links and mounts for the rear.

Its all sitting at the end of my bed at the moment just begging to be installed. I'm getting... impatient.

I will be definately installing the rear swaybar myself as it looks relatively easy.

I will probably be having a crack at installing the front as well but just wondering, will I do any harm driving around without getting a camber adjust and alignment, while I find time to do without my car and book it in to have it all adjusted sweetly?

Cheers in advance.

you won't need an alignment if you're just installing sway bars, its also piss easy, just don't jack the car up to do it coz it tensions up the swaybars when the weight is off the wheels, just go & install them both yourself and enjoy the satisfaction of DIY

i ended up dropping the subframe down as the nuts on the front were kinda hard to get too!

Me and a mate managed to do my front on stands and removing the right front wheel. Never touched any of the subframe or diff plate etc... A little careful maneuvering ( rotating mostly ) and you can slide it straight out through where the rear of the front tyre would be sitting if it was still on.

Saved a heap of time.
