    Kinda Splurged

    So recently, My rear sway bar bushings have been moaning and they are cracked. I decided to not only get new bushings, but also a whole new bar. Also got some SS brake and clutch lines. Hopefully this will make the car feel newish haha. Also got a CRSX Brass knob, and that sucker weighs 17 ounces! Dont have a pic of it though. Its massive.

    the bar is 24 MM

    edit: also have my neuspeed front strut brace to put on, but its putting up a battle. I have had it sitting under neith my bed for at least 6 months

    i have an 03, so if you have an 04-05 then your stock is like 1m larger than mine. But the difference was truly astonishing. Fitment was perfect, but I had to use some of my own hardware for the tie bar. Only 2 bolts, so other than that it was perfect fitment. Was only 198ish shipped too! I'm thinking this will be my best upgrade/cost.


    Edit: Also there was no bumping of the exhaust, not even close. I cant tell if I have a stock exhaust though, owner prior put some type of exhaust on it

    So it came to my attention recently that when i installed my progress rear sway it was upside down... true story.. took me 4 years to realize it. I cant believe im confessing this but its to funny not to. I think at the time my stock exhaust was perhaps in the way or i was drunk...? anyhow i wanted to drop my car more and was thinking the sway bar is going to hit the control arm... and then it was like a slap in the face! That fucker is upside down!

    thats pretty funny lol. What i did was mount the bar to the tie beam thing, and then just rotated it clockwise with the bushings. Helped disperse the grease evenly also

    Awesome man! I always heard people saying a nice rear sway is THE best mod for our cars and I wasn't a believer until recently, when I did the same. The car feels much more solid. Congrats!
