Maybe. I have to clean them off because there's all kinds of crap on them.

I have to go into work for a short time in the morning, then meeting up with Phil for lunch. I'll give you guys a call.

Looking good MJ! Glad to hear Jose was able to solve the rattling problem. Cheap spacers are never a good idea.

Dang...from one problem to the next!

Did you ever notice a "whirring" sound coming from your rear drilled rotors? I don't remember hearing it on my last set, but that was a long time ago. I definitely hear it after having them installed this weekend, but figure it will go away after they wear a little.

i had drilled and slotted rotors on my TT and got the humming noise, i had put hawk hps pads on as well and but the sound did go away after about 200 miles or so of driving...just my .02

take the wheel off and take a measuring tool to the endlink. it the only way you'll be able to tell if you are not sure. 12mm one is thicker all around, not just the difference in bolt size.

Yeah, but the numbers I beamed you were exactly the same as the ones advans posted. I'm confused.

same here,

I got the "new 2003" bar, with the pre-attached poly urethane bushings, dealer said I needed only 1 bracket. I insisted in using two, they're sending me another one.

Original 22mm rear stablizer bar,
203-326-15-65 with bushings 203-323-16-85

replaced with new stablizer bar with pre-attached poly urethane bushings
203-323-44-65 with bracket 203-323-27-40


heres my share of pics...


front sway bar(bottom@16mm) rear sway bar(top@22mm)



rear bar with pre-attached poly urethane bushing (old rubber bushing next to it)



with the new bracket on



with the new bracket off

The one I had for the front was exactly the same as advans (which seems to be a 240 front endlink number). We'll see what happens tomorrow. Just remember, I got those part numbers from someone else.
