Can't seem to find one, all I read is that you have to drop the sub frame. Is this install so obivous that a write-up is not needed?

I watched it being done on my car, and yes, subframe has to be loosened and slightly lowered....calipers off...exhaust down...sorry I did not photograph or record the steps, but it was 3 hours for a pro on a lift at local indy shop. BUT, absolutely worth every minute, along with the much easier front!

That was true for the front bar, but how did they remove and replace the rear bar in 20 minutes? Given the shape of the bar, it could not be extracted through the wheel wheels across the car with the subframe in position...or are you kidding us? Eibach and Tire Rack both confirmed dropping the subframe is required before we started the task.

It really was about 20 to 30 mins. Sportstick no bs if you remember I asked you about it in a different thread before I had my done. When I had it done I also was having coils put on also. When I went out to watch after going in and paying he had already had my car on the lift and was almost done removing it to my surprise. From what I saw he had the rear springs off and was removing the two center clamps holding the bushing then just slid it over then back and down and it was out. Sorry i was no help but like I said I was shocked at how fast it was

Anyway, how do you like the new antisway bars? Are you as delighted as I have talked about?
