Maybe try posting in the suspension forum or the forum for whatever chassis you have, this is an engine forum so you are not likely to get as good answers here

Yup, it's going.

Oh yeah, and as for the question, I'll be getting them before the end of the month if everything goes as planned.

i use them now... they're pretty good but a pita to install the rear...

do you have other aftermarket suspension components, or only the sway bars? Also, how has the handling characteristics changed with the bars installed(more/less oversteer/understeer)?

also is the install of front bar relatively easy, assuming that the car never had stock front sway bar... do you have to remove exhaust header? anything else?

got the st's wit the prokit, agx's and stb f/r. feels great. funny the way i have it setup now it feels like there's more understeer than when the car was stock... anyone have any suggestions? (front is at 2 rear is at like 4 or 5 i think...)

front is easy the bolts aren't that hard to access. being able to jack the car up higher is a plus. the rear is a major pain.

How much did you guys spend on the whole kit? I was just quoted $330 plus shipping from a local shop, and that seems a little high to me. Let me know what you've seen it or bought it for.

I got mine from NOPI for $255 shipped. It's going to be hard to find anything cheaper. There was only one place but they wanted $215 plus about $25 for shipping. I didn't like the customer service so I just went with NOPI.

try going to shox.com they quoted me 229 +shipping and their customer service seemed really good, knowledgeable, and just nice.

That's the front and rear bars with the polyurethene bushings too?
