gonna install pedders sway and coilovers

getting ready to drop off car and get sways ,coilovers, diff bushings,upper control arm inners, rear control /toe link..and a few other things...i have been reading brds and hearing about problems installing sways...do i need to know anything b4 i drop off car.. i know my shop has done a ton of coilovers , but not sure of sways...ANYTHING instructional i need to print out or call pedders, to install these parts..i read about having to make bump stops somewhere...any help is appreciated...thanks "Yes, I've been told the front swaybar movement has been resolved. New front clamps from the latest shipment from Australia will be sent to me this week. Bolt-in solution that does not need customer modification, from what I've been told. I guess new swaybar manufacturing and/or specs needed new R&D to address movement issues. Just like the revised installation instructions for the end-links that are shorter than stock. " these are not in my sway kit...things like this is what are holding me up..been sitting on this susp kit for 3 weeks and everytime i get ready to install , i need something else... if i need these, can i go ahead and get kit put on and add these afterwards without a problem. and can pete help me out , since these should be included in sways? thanks again

Of everything I think sway bars would be the least of your worries. There are instructions for the coilovers on PDF on the internet, but I figured they came in the box. So it should be a problem. It sounds like you're going to have the set up of set ups man! I'm very happy for you.

You'll find the end links in the box with the bushings... They look similar to this:


With the Pedders XA coilovers, bumpstop is not an issue. You can adjust them to full drop and still have full shock compression/rebound. Do NOT use an impact wrench on the coilover install.

You have the rear cradle bushing inserts, they can be installed without completely removing the cradle.

I think Mike may have a DIY write-up on installing the pumpkin bushings.

You have the full alignment bolt kit, it requires some drilling and/or grinding... Mike can explain.

The front arm bushings should be no problem for an alignment shop that replaces bushings.

You have a sweet Pedders kit, should make those winding Florida back roads a lot more fun to drive

Adaptor spacer plate for the front swaybar stop clamp brackets should arrive in warehouse Friday. I am waiting on these to address movement on my front swaybar. Just need to replace old bracket/bushing with the rear kit stops(picture below) and add the new spacer plate to address clamp/frame clearance.

Your shop should be aware of this.

I have XAs, swaybarB, front radius rod bushing, rear cradle insert, rear diff bushings, and alignment kit(bolts). Dropped little over 1" all around. Similar build to yours, minus the rear trailing arm bushings.

Overall, I like the improvements with this setup.
