Couldn't help myself, I had to tear it down to see what was under the hood. So I spent Saturday morning tearing it down and putting in a Bajaron sway bar so it would corner at speed a little better. Spent about 2 1/2 hours from start to finish.
Only adds I'd make to the instructions were that in order to get the frunk latch cable off, you have to loosen the 2 bolts underneath and remove all 4 bolts along the top edge and then tilt it out so you can get a wrench in the little box underneath the latch. Secondly, in order to get the top bolt of the heim links off, you need to remove the plastic A arm covers. I was very pleased with how easy this thing was to work on. Granted, this was a simple install, but it could have gone worse.
For Bajaron, I'd offer that it would be VERY nice to have a reference point marked on the sway bar to make it easier to center up when installing. Trying to use a tape measure after getting the bolts in wasn't easy.
After a nice lunch, I took her out for a test spin and was happy with the results. I was expecting a much more noticeable difference based on the many reviews. I could tell a difference, but didn't think it was that noticeable. All in all, I'd say it was still a pretty good mod. Next up is figuring out how to hang a 12V outlet so I can power a cell phone for GPS and also to plug in a battery tender.
Sorta looks like a Transformer, doesn't it?
