Default Installing a Whiteline Front Sway Bar

Hey guys,

Just wondering, how hard is it to install one of these sway bars? can you do it yourself or would you need a professional to do it for you?

Also, how much would this roughly cost? The reason I ask is because all the shops I have called have told me that they need to look at the car first and I don't want to get ripped off!

Cheers

EDIT: I already have the sway bar just need to get it installed!

It's a pretty simple job. You just need to remove one of the plastic undertrays, unbolt the old/stock sway bar, then bolt on and adjust as necessary the Whiteline sway bar. About 45-60 mins work.

Yeah I did it, just make sure you safely jack the front of the car up, and its very easy.

I took the front wheels off, to make the install even easier.

It is an awesome modification, everyone with an AP1 should get one I reckon.

I can't imagine how you would do it without the front wheels off. Need access to get to the ends of the bar.

I guess you could try that but sounds like you'd just be making it hard for yourself.
