I have the Progress rear sway on my 02 and I wouldn't ever drive the car without at least the RSX one again it makes that much of a difference. Good mod man, enjoy it!

ok i give up...i dont even know where to start to take off my old sway.. i see the endlinks..and where it attaches to the rear sway end points... but it looks just like a crooked bolt... theres nothing on the opposite side of the bolt but some smooth ball side with 4 little dots on it. i dont get where everone is saying to put an allen key or hex key or w.e

anyone got a detailed DIY? or something.. i must be just dumb.

pb blaster is THE universal lube for stuck bolts, go to walmart and get both sets of allen wrenches for 88c, even comes in a pouch, cant ever have too many tools

damn i forgot the sizes.. im sure if u search it'll come up. i like pbblaster and liquid wrench

liquid wrench works, but it evaporates too quickly, pb stays around longer and penetrates deeper, kinda like viagra, remember if an erection lasts longer than 4 hours, please consult a physician

the install is pretty straight forward. you do not need to jack up the car for the swap. im lowered on neuspeed sport springs, and i didnt jack it up. good luck

garsh.. i got up this morning and decided to finally put on the bar.. i get down there..its not THAT easy to hold the allen key in place, while loosening up the bolt but i can do it.. its just a pain in the ***.. and then.. out of nowhere.. super storm.. i got poured on.. so i called it quits for a little until it stops and i can go back down there.. im sure itll get done by today.. any easy tips for holding that allen key in place? im working by myself..and im not jacked up.. any ideas to make life easier or should i just get it over with n stop bitching :P

tougEMII

use one hand to hold the allan key and the 2nd hand to turn...wratchet wrenches save ur life

DsevenEm2

iTrader: (6)

yea thats what im doing.. i got one of them off.. the drivers side.. i have a wratchet wrench.. it does work great.. but i couldnt get the passenger side off.. it is soaked in pb blaster but will not even break off.. its impossible.. ive given up

make sure u dont strip it! the main problem for me was that holding the allen key was hurting my hands. so i put a metal bar and rested it on the control arm so that when i turn the wrench, the allen key would hit it and would not move while im loosening it.... ugh.. i had a pic when i did it but cant find it. do u get what i said? haha
