Front and Rear Anti-Sway Front Sway Bar Brace Kit Adjustable End-Links Link Bracket support

Highly recommended. Fantastic. This was a fairly expensive kit once you buy all the "recommended" extra components that other vendors don't even offer, but a search of the forums will eventually lead you to realize that without the extras, a cheaper, less-fortified system WILL eventually break the stock anti-sway bar mounts and/or links on the NB. I hate PITA, so I popped for it all.

Installation Tip: Installation required minor welding of supports, so I had a local shade-tree garage install. Had to make them loosen up and retighten the end-links since they had tightened them down while the wheels were hanging off the lift (contrary to the simple 2-pages of directions with pictures). What's the point of adjustable end-links if you don't take advantage of the adjustability to at least nutralize the setup? (And the adjustable links ain't cheap!) What a blast to drive. The car keeps catching me by surpise. Thought you missed a turn? You're already in the parking lot before you realized you had actually committed to the turn! Kinda scary - in a good way! I've only had them on a week, but no squeeking yet.

Over 30 minutes to remove completely
