info is easy.  Pics is hard

To do the front sway bar, you have to pull the axles (easiest way to get the ends off).  Drop the subframe.  And undo the center supports.  Once you undo the center brackets and the ends, and the subframe is lowered (not much), you can pull it out.

If you put in the largest front bar, you will need to get the center BRACKETS.  They are different.

the small ones were just normal, but the large ones were reinforced.

I can get a pic of the brackets tomorrow.

I didn't pull the axles to get the 34mm sway bar for my convertible. Used a box end wrench on top and a deep well socket on the nuts.

thanks so far...i'll make sure to get the brackets....a local J/Y will pull it for me for $40....

i'll make sure they get the brackets or i'll beat them.

you do not need to take off anything but the sway bar bushing clamps.  you have to mess with it some to slide it out but it comes out without removing anything else but the wheels.

geez, why dont you just get a gtp if you want louvres and the 34mm  


you talking about needing the bottom part that has lugs in the sub that the nuts go on to hold the bracket down that holds the bushing in?
