finally got time to

finally with my hectic work schedule i had some time to get around to working on my car. upgraded from the 19mm bar to the 22mm and changed out the endlinks to as well i made a few minor changes to them a better bushing mostly. ride is perfect doesn't make any noise when i hit bumps nice and quiet. next thing is bigger progress sway in the front i'm probably gonna order that next week when the paycheck comes in

shoot i know the stock rear sway on ex's is either 12mm or 14mm i went to a 19mm then to 22mm plus i have a rear tie bar that add helped out a lot, the rear is really stiff slides around corners very easily. thats why i wanna get a bigger front sway to kinda balance it out

so you want the car to understeer and oversteer?
I am pretty passionate that no fwd car should have the back end snapping out easily.

How much did it run you, and how much of a difference did it really make.

the total cost of my endlinks was about 30 bucks, the only difference is i dont have to worry about them snapping like the crappy oem ones.

I heard a snapping noise in my right side somewhere the other day. Entering 75 and cornered too hard. Mine's completely stock... just to eliminate those answers, but did mine beak? I don't feel any differeence, and believe me, I drove a little slower after that. But the noise still freaked me out...

Find those at a junk-yard? I'm gonna start working from the ground up... only a junior in HS right now.
