Just put this front swaybar on. It noticeably decreased the body roll even more in conjunction the with the strut tower bar and lower control arm brace installed. Also used the Perrin endlink kit. Highly recommend using the upgraded endlinks.
Installation Notes:
Carefully look at and remember how the factory sway bar fits in.
Endlinks align perpendiculary to the ground with the swaybar mount on top.
You don't have to use all the spacers supplied with endlinks.
It's so much easier if you take the one bracket off that is basically just a protective cover instead of fishing it through; sway bar drops right out. (about 10 bolts with a 14mm socket)
Recommend using a racheting 14mm wrench to take off factory endlinks, just makes the job easier.

I just put the F/R 22mm Perrin sways. I'm happy with the fit, and am running them with the stock endlinks for now. I was concerned about running the same size bar F/R and getting too much oversteer. I've got the front on the firmer settting and rear on the softer setting. So far, the car has been handling great. much reduced body roll. And the rear of the car seems much more "active" in the turns. I'm not concerend with the rear getting too happy with the current set up. I plan on keeping an eye on the endlinks, but they don't seem to have much lateral stress on them, so I thik they should be fine for quite a while.
Nice thing was Perrin includes the bracket for the rear mount.

I had to take out the muffler to put the sway bar in
|

I put a Perrin Rear sway bar 22mm in today with help from my buddy. It's very windy and cold so I recommend to do that on a nice warm day. I had to take off the muffler to make enough room for taking it out and putting it back in. After that I try it out and felt a big differences on the turn. It's a must for your car if you care about handling. I'm thinking to get a set of end links soon as well to see if i can see more differences.

i am just running the rear bar with upgraded mounts. feel as though it really tightened up the rear of the car. can get the rear to swing out if i want it to now, feels like a rear drive car when i push it.

Pros:
|
oversteer
|
|
Cons:
|
to much Installed oversteer
|
|
Installed the 22mm rear kit with Kart Boy end links from Fred Beans. I suggest removing the mufflers to do this install, just four bolts and let them hang. It took care of the under-steer inducing more over-steer. I would like a more balanced feel on turn in, even set on the softest setting I feel it's aggressive, thats just me. If I could do it over I would replace the springs first, you might feel that the improvement of firmer springs is enough and then go with sway bars if necessary. Remember, sway bars don't do anything for squat or firmness. Yes, springs first then sway bars, good luck.
