Please anyone can you give me installation instructions of how to install Mugen front (the long one) sway bar. I just ordered one, I love my car so much and I don't want to do to it anything wrong. Thanks Avi

Very simple:
1. Raise front of car
2. Remove front wheels
3. You will have to remove the center splash shield that covers the bar. be carefull not to brake the clips you have to reuse them.
4. loose nuts at end-joint. You will need a 14mm (not sure here) and metric allen.
5. Remove center bushings
6. slide end-joint from bar and remove the bar.
Installation is in reverse order
1. place bar into stock position and install center (2) bushings hand tight.
2. Slide end-joint into bar end holes but make sure the studs in the end joints are aligned in the center and move freely 360 degree. This is as per Service Manual instructions.
3. Install end-joint nuts hand tight
4. Torque bolts on center bushing to factory specs (I think is 28 ft-lb)
5. Torque nuts at end joints (I think is also same torque 28 ft-lb)
6. Re-install splash shield. If a clips is broken apply silicone to fid it in place.
7. Re-install wheels
8. Lower vehicle and test drive.
Please check torque in Service Manual. Also the description in the service manual is very good but remember to check the next two pages for the end joint aligment.
