How Much?:
I purchased these off a member of 7thgencivic.com for $16 shipped. I've seen them selll for $20 at other places though.

How Hard Was It To Install?:
Beginners, if you know how to turn a ratchet and grease bushings you will be fine.

How Long Did It Take?
Took me 45 minutes to install the bushings and grease them up. And took about 30 minutes to clean off the grease from my ratchet [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

What Tools Do I Need?:
-Neuspeed front sway bar bushing and synthetic grease
-14mm socket with ratchet extension
-Ratchet
-Regular tools to jack car up (i.e. jackstands, 2x4's, etc.)
-Finger to grease the bushings

How Did You Install it?
1. Normal procedure for jacking up the car, and wheel removal on both sides.
2. Take the 14 mm socket, ratchet, and extension and take off two bolts that hold the bracket.
3. Take bracket off and push down on sway bar to be able to remove the stock bushings.
4. Grease Neuspeed bushing really well, and pull it apart to wrap around sway bar. This will take a lot of the time since the bushings are stiff as fawk.
5. Push sway bar against body of car and tighten the bolts back up.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for other side.
7. Retighten all 4 bolts on both sides that hold the sway bar and lower the car.

Review
Haven't really tested out the sway bar yet, as it is raining outside. But some things I've noticed are that steering is a bit more quicker now, putting power to the wheels has improved, and there hasn't been much noise yet as everyone has said there would be. For the price of ~$20, and 2 hours of your life, this mod was a decent mod, not the greatest but every little bit helps [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I give this mod 3 out of 5 for performance, which is decent.

I read it! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Good review. I actually bought the Progress front strut bar. That comes with polyurethane bushings with a design that allows for grease to be trapped in, so you don't have to re-grease it as often to prevent the squeeks. Anyway, could you please post this in the Reviews forum?

It took you 45 min to install them??? I did it in 10.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] Ok I see why it took so long, You jacked the car up. If you leave the car on the ground it'll be easyer and quicker to install. anti-swaybars are in their nutural position when the car is on the ground, when you jack it up they go in to there compressed position

I got the grease all over the tools, and was talking to my neighbor[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Thanks for the tip of keeping the car on the ground, even though there isn't more than couple inches of clearance below[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

I didn't get a part number since the bushings were already opened from the factory one and was sent in a USPS folder when I bought it from sumama. But the numbers on the grease are #B25.10.01

Blah you cac[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] So it says to grease it every year, I heard of it becoming squeeky after a while. But I didn't think it'd be that squeeky since the sway bar was pretty snug on there[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
