I havent tried yet, so maybe its not as hard as i think it is, but im not sure on how to even begin doing this?
does the tie bar itself have to be all tightened up, or do you tighten the bolts on it only after its been installed some help would be appreciated thanks guys [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I'm doing mine right now and am now having problems because i rushed it a lil'. Do a search there's a ton of info, pay close attention to the posts about using wooden blocks or clamping the metal together. . . the info's on the site. . . just take your time and figure out exactly how you're going to approach the install.

My lower tie bar was very easy to install.

1. Jack up rear side like normal and remove the tire.
2. with a socket wrench remove the bolt.
3. the hole stayed lined up some, I used a mallot to
hammer it back some to line up.
4. put the bolt through the bracket and re-tighten.
5., put tire back on and lower car.
6. repeat steps 1-4 for the other side.
7. intall lower tie bar and tighten everything up.
9. repeat step 5.

Takes no longer then 20 minutes.
Very easy install
