Stillen sway bar install - part 1
well, installed rear stillen sway bar on my 05 6mt sedan last evening after work...
backed car up onto rhino low profile ramps, loosened exhaust pipe and muffler hanger bolts, removed end link nuts, removed frame mount brackets (the ones clamping swaybar bushings to frame), wiggled out oem sway bar through the back...
lubed oem bushings and installed onto stillen sway bar... reversed the removal procedure to install stillen sway bar... retightened exhaust hanger nuts/bolts, re-install end links and torqued to specs as stated in install sheet...
I planned on doing medium front and rear so i used the middle hole for the endlink bolts...
will finish off the fronts today after work.... then will give final review after test drive...
the rear just bar seemed easier to removed with the suspension relaxed since the sway bar is not tweaked, plus i didn't have to remove the wheels...hope the front will be just as easy...

just wondering if you had any issues on the front sway bar? because i couldnt seem to get the bushing to fit in the middle hole (medium) so i put it in the farthest to the front of the car hole. what setting is that hole by the way? soft or hard because i cant remember so i just did the hole closest to the front and medium in the rear.
