including bushings? wuts the thickness of the bar? if u dont already have a sway, u'll notice a great difference in handling. sway bars are the next best thing, sometimes better, than a good shock/spring set. its important u kno what the thickness is tho, u may need a subframe brace.

Ok thanks. just wating for a reply on the bushings and thickness and Ill post what he says. Ya i heard that if its to thick is could tear the sub frame.

I looked it up. The SIR (cad) SI (us)rear sway bar is 13mm. Anything thicker needs a brace. He said its off a sir. So ill see what he says.

if its 13mm then u'll be alright. esp since u have aftermarket suspension which will help ease pressure on the subframe. im not sure, but $130 seems a bit pricey to me. is that including shipping? i'd try to talk down a lil, but im not sure how much a set would go for anyways..

tell him to take a seamstress's tape or a piece of string, wrap it around bar, and measure how long the string is

report that back, divide by pi = thickness

Ya this guy sounds like a sketch bag. First he said everything is there to be installed and stuff. And then and he doesnt know the thickness and says "yea stock off the sir, everything need to be installed is there, im pretty sure".

He doesnt even know if everything is there, he wont say if theres bushings or not, I asked him twice. So im out on this buy.

So thanks anyways guys. But now im on the lookout for one of these. I want one.
