Ok guys its diy time I am going to tell you how to install an aftermarket front sway bar first things first you are going to need a 12mm wrench a 14mm wrench and a cheater bar and a beer for any job you need the proper tools ok the beer is not necessary but it helps

make sure your lower control arms have a hole in them (see pic 1)
take tires off (trust me it makes putting the end links on way easier) and jack up the car
unbolt exhaust at the cat (refer to pic 2)
unbolt shift stabilizer and let hang (refer to pic 3 and 4)
unbolt shift linkage (pic 5)
lubricate urethane bushings and place on the sway bar
place sway bar in its place with the hump above exhaust and shift linkages
place aluminum spacer under bushing and the steel u shaped piece over the top of the bushing and bolt them in place on both sides longer bolt goes on the side that is thicker (pics 6 and 7)
lubricate end links and bolt in to place through holes in lca’s make sure not to over tighten you wand them to just start to bulge over tightening can cause a failure
reattach your exhaust and shift linkages
put your tires back on and lower your car
Enjoy your new flat handling
