WOW , didnt really expect you to post this!

Im not sure what to say, I appreciate it, but it isnt necessary. I definately plan to get the sway bar installed before the next Dragon. And if you gave me money now, Id probably just use it on food!

I love the people in this club!!!

According to Jay LDG charges $100 for a swaybar install. So we have a ways to go but not that much.

Well, that isn't actually true. The price quote we got previously, was from a guy who USED to work there and John and Brian have NO CLUE where that quote came from.. We were charged 149$. Humm.... But to have people I REALLY trust play around under my car...It is worth it.
And let me tell you, I really feel a difference! Amazing!

Thanks for the correction MININurse.

So what setting did you have John put the bar?

When I was talking to John the other day about swaybars he said that if it's a 3 position he always puts it on the middle setting. I don't know which bar they got put in, but my guess would be the setting that would be closest to the setting he normally uses.

John usually set it in the center position. LDG is awesome!

Ok...so we got a sway bar. Now we need a person willing to install, $ or both.

How about a volunteer installer and a 6 pack??

The quote I got from them this week was $200 just for the labor.
I did it myself in 2 hours.

Having never done it and not having the tools, plus having the new wheels on the car, I was rather nervous about attempting to do it myself! but 200$ geesh price went up!
