I got the bar in. What a PITA. I think I cross-threaded the right front sway bar mount bolt. 
Figures. I have it almost torqued down. We'll see. I'll have it done by Sat. afternoon. I'll let you know if I would ever do another one. Maybe on yours?
I think I am going to torque the crap out of the mount bolts. I have no torque wrench. They were monkey tight anyways. Dum Dum DUMB...........:impatient

Dude....I got my front bar in. I road tested it and it sticks to a point then gets REALLY out of hand. But I can control it pretty easy. I can't adjust the front since my father-in-law stripped the endlink
Both bars are on full stiff. My opinion is: 
. Great mod. THE ONLY THING...The front mounts came with straight zerk fittings instead of 90's. I don't know how in the hell I'm going to lube the front. And I'm not dropping the frame every 6 months to do it. Thanks for trying to lend a hand.

Just be careful my friend. IMHO, you've just stepped over the line in 'street' modding. Seriously, don't hurt yourself.

Thanks for the suggestion Thought about it but I had the car apart already for a week when I put it in and I AM NOT TEARING THAT STUPID THING APART AGAIN. evvvvvveeeeerrrrrrr.:impatient You know, I might be able to reach it through the suspension and replace it. That will be another weekend project.

I dunno if drilled or slotted makes a price diff, but I have slotted.

Maybe it's the hats that make the difference in the price. I've heard differing opinions on whether you want to replace the hats or not, when the rotors are switched. I'm still good for a little while, but certainly not for too long.
