Default Fitting Swaybars

I have a jack, and good socket set. Is swapping over swaybars a straight forward job or is their anything else I need to know or should I leave it to someone who knows their s$#t to setup properly?

Thanx

Na do yourself..
There's enough DIY threads that can help you along.. Just follow them and its straight forward..
If your bars are adjustable, set to medium, in the middle so it's not so stiff..
Drive 50-100kms, then recheck all bolts..
Job done..

^^^ Easy as.

Don't even need a DIY really, it's all very straight forward. Rear is easily accessible - bolt straight out/in. The front you'll have to drop the front subframe to get to it, but it's not very difficult.

Drop the car before you tighten the bolts completely... this may mean putting the car on ramps/bricks etc so you can still get under it

ALLPAWS, I have some ramps that should give you about 3" of height should you need them.

Rear are really easy
fronts may take some time, removing the C sub frame may include swearing etc
