Wow

All I can say is WOW. I just got done installing my Progress Front and Rear sway bar. I upgraded their bushings with the ES greasable ones and put on GREYS Endlinks, I also installed my Tanabe Front lower sub frame bar. It took me about 4 hours to do it all. But after it was done I took it out for a test run nothing to major because i dont have my front bumper on and I dont have a lisence right now also so I just took it around the block but I was hooking corners and just doing circles in my court and all. Man HUGE HUGE differnce. I gave my wife the keys and made her take it for a test run and she doesnt like driving my car but she said that she noticed a huge differnce in the handling. She says it squeaks a little but that is why i have a radio just turn it up a little lol. BUt if it awesome big improvements.

Next on my list to get done is upgrade all my bushings. I have them all here in my room but it is going to take me a few days to do all of that. But I cant wait wooo hoooo. OK I jsut thought I would share my joy with the rest of you guys. I will try to get pics soon.

Nice, cool that you installed all at once so you go the whole effect. I think one at a time it would not me that noticable.

You said that it's squeaking. Did you grease the bushings?

well ok first thing about my lisence. I got like two tickets right before I left for my 6 month cruise so I wasnt around to try to fight them. SO my tickets didnt get paid until i got home so they suspended it and then I found out that I have to take a driver safety course before I can go to the DMV to get my lisence back. So I have to sign up for a course but I still drive my truck around because I dont get tickets in that thing. lol. OK now about my sway bars. I think the front is 27mm and the rear I think is 22mm. Im not quiet sure on the specs but it is a noticable difference in size for the rear and not much in the front but the size is different. With the design of the sway bar though you will need to upgrade your endlinks or you will snap them like a bad habit. BUt I bought Energy Suspension Greasable Polyurethane bushings. the brackets have little connections where you can grease them every year. Now I have the Neuspeed Upper Tie bar I think that is the best upper tie bar anyone make for our cars. BUt the x-brace looks goodbut I really like the look and structure of the Tanabe one. But that is just my personal opinion. I'm Sorri I didnt get pics today but I will do my best to get some tomorrow I still have to wash the car it is crazy dirty from all the rain and crap since I have been gone.
