I got the front sway bar installed today.... I gotta say this was 10x more difficult than the rear. I think the ATI balancer and supercharger drive pulley is part of what made if so hard. I definitely had to jack the motor up. I read a bunch of reviews saying it could be done without lifting the motor. Yeah, with my setup? No chance. I removed the 2 motor mount bolts and lifted the motor right until the bolts were about to come out of the subframe and it barely fanagled it's way in there. Either way, suspension is done. Now I just need to do the oil change and fix/replace my brake mechanism and the car is back in service. I'm gonna deep clean my wheels and wheel wells while I have the car in the air as well.

Looks good, are those BMR bars? Notice much change?

They are the BMR bars. I just finished installing them late last night and the car is still in the air so I haven't had a chance to put them through the paces.

Have you thought about upgrading to the FE4 control arms and maybe a 1LE or 32mm rear bar?

I have invested so much $$$ into the current setup, I have no plans on converting at the moment. I think this setup will be better than stock, which in reality is all that i want.
