i'm going install that RSX-s 19mm sway bar soon, but which one should i use to left up my car: ramp or jack stand?

i think if i use ramp, is that means all the forces on the rear tires is pushin up, so make it hard to take off the stock sway bar? or i needed to use the jack stand to free up the tire in air for easy take out?

anything to look out for?

need ur help, thanks

i would put that up on jack stands.. its easier when both wheels have "slack"

Just lift the back end up and put each side on jack stands, it is a easy process took less than a hour to do mine.

that is.. unless u gotta cut the endlinks off.. then u gotta wait a while before u get gray's custom endlinks...

my advice.. have lots of pb blaster handy... soak the endlinks for at least 2 days before attempting to remove them from the sway bar/control arm

use jack stands and take your wheels off, tons more space and light. The DIY for the progress rear sway and mounting is a really good referance. Shouldnt take more then an hour if you have all the parts. Did you get RSX bushings?

I think it will work just fine with ramps, just alot easier if you can get the wheels off. Just unbolt the endlink from the sway bar. It has a nut on it and the end of the bolt is an allen, if that makes any sense. So you put an allen in the end to hold it still and turn the nut with a wrench. All this is in the DIY. If you live in Chino and you havent been driving in snow or lots of water, the bolts should all come out no problem, mine did. Just grease them well when you put them back on. I had a friend of mine help me so we could do the endlinks and everything from both sides, having the extra set of hands and eyes really made it easy.

did you use ramps or did you install on jacks?

cause if you installed on jacks, you should just wait a few weeks to let the rear settle
