I just changed my sway bars. I got the 35mm front sus_tech and then a 21mm rear bmr bar. I used those same links for installation instructions. The only thing not accurate with those instructions is the prediction on time to install the bars. It took me about 8 hours to install both but thats just me. My endlinks on my stock bars were pure rust! The nuts on the endlinks would not move even as far as a hair's length. I thought they were moving at first until I realized I was just twisting the bolts around until they broke off. Oh well, I don't plan on putting the stock ones back on. Don't be afraid if you have to break the stock endlinks. It was also a frustrating job for me as I am new to modifying my car on my own. Made me question why I was doing this lol. But then when I installed the bars, I realized it was worth every minute sweating and pulling the torque wrench with my last ounce of strength. The car feels so much better. It's a fine mod to do if you only use your car for commuting too. I thought this would make the car feel more harsh during a ride over bumps. The car feels smooth still over bumps, but you can pull it around corners as if you were turning the wheels with your hands directly.
