Well I have got to thank Wild Weasel for his install guide on his site. Without him my install probably would have taken a lot longer than it did. After the install, I had to take it for a spin. And all I can say is HOLY CRAP huge difference. The car sits so much flatter in a sharp turn and has a hint of oversteer. Now to the PICS!











Dirt roads own me ....




These will be the last pics before paint! Kit goes on next week! Thx for looking everyone.

Haha, yep, a ton of fun now, ain't it?

I just installed another one on a friend's car, though I was kinda pissed as they changed up the design. My Addco tucks into the axle, and I had to drill holes for the L brackets behind the strut mounting bolt.

nice, i can't wait to get mine!!!

Did you not get a front?

Topsub, I didn't get the front. I'm going to get the front from the GP pretty quick ... I hear thats a fun install....

you should of used that mone u spend on the sway to fix that front bumper

I was trying to figure this out from his pics here. Has Addco changed their design to install the same as the Eibach bar, with the strut bolt?

yeah the front sucks ass to install , LOL


hmm , i might have to get a new 1 , ive got a older 1 and im lazy and dont want to drill holes either , lol


enjoy the freeway interchanges

Bah to hell with my stock bumper, its coming off next week.

Yep, sure did. I had no clue until I began his install. After looking at the brackets, and how the bar sat when tucked into the axle I realized it was designed like the Eibach.

Addco also forgot his D-bushings, so that cost him an extra $20 and a run to Autozone.

awesome, ya i ordered the front and rear in the GP, Glad there is a write up, i probly take my car toa shop to install the front, and the engine mounts cuz i don't think i want to mess with it.

I had to do that on my install as well. Not to hard, just annoying when they could have mad it a lot easier.

i think i might have to pick up one of these

sway bar in the rear makes all the diff! good install bro.

Looks awesome man, you got my wanting to spend money I don't need too

Is that a zip tie on your brake line? (PIcture with the soda can)

Wow yeah, I didn't notice that. I'm pretty sure I didn't put that there.

Can you direct me to wild weasels guide?

So... Addco changed their design of the rear sway bar? I know from when I had one about 3 years ago it tucked IN the trailing arm.
