Now, if Don could just get that 600hp, 10 second monster of his to actually turn... ;-)

Zackly!!Don't take that Don, you turn plenty! Right off the strip onto the return lane.
I'm not even sure how I got in here... did someone leave a side door open?I just get a kick out of you posting in the "corner carvers" section...
All I'm interested in knowing is whose ass that is in your avatar?Having a Techco Watts link installed tomorrow with Eibach front and rear sway bars. Don't have time to do it myself but I will post up impressions on another thread if anyone is interested. NO! I didn't pay $1000 for it.

Well today, I finally had some time to put the Watts link in so with the help of my buddy Mike I did.
I replaced this
With this
The Steeda website says it should take about 3.5 hours to install, but we got it in in about 1 hour and 45 min, and we were not rushing by any means. It was a pretty easy install and as you can see I even got to keep my Axle brace. I only got to drive it about 15 miles so far though or roads that are not very curvy but so far the rear end feels more planted.
There are the rest of the pics I took.
My next suspension mods will be a rear sway bar and a Strut tower brace.
I have the Steeda rear swaybar installed since the car was new 4 years ago and I have no problems with noise whatsoever. I never use grease fittings on any poly bushing. I coat any polyurethane part completely inside and out with a very thin film of the energy suspension prelube and have no noise.I'll give you my feedback on the Steeda comp sway bar with the billet end links ...Its a great piece overall but get ready to grease those Polly bushings all the time because if you don't that thing Will creak and crack like crazy !
The problem lies with the end link bushings ,they DON'T HAVE FLUTED GROVES TO HOLD THE GREASE ...I use the Energy suspension pre lube and it all smashes out when you tighten down the three bolts that hold the end plate ... at that point the end links will barley rotate around the bar , that what also causing noise I believe. Steeda says the end links should move freely 360 degrees around the bar , when its off the car of course but it doesn't (very tight ) also the Polly bushings on the side of the sway bar don't have any grease fittings also but does have fluted bushings to hold the grease in side .
The BMR piece is nicer I think with there billet end links that have grease fittings on both sides and all there Polly bushings have flutes also , both the Steeda and BMR bars are 7/8 ......Im going to sell the Steeda myself and just go with the gt500 bar it is also 7/8 and ill see if not running Polly bushings make that much of a difference .

This is the way to do it.
We don't put grease fittings on because people have a tendency to overgrease things which can lead to bushings splitting. They are just like a woman, you lube it up right the first time, you're good to go.
